In the hunt for Paul Motian videos I came across this great interview and performance with Bill Evans from 1970. Keen insights.
Searching around the Youtube today for anything related to Dave, Greenleaf, and our artists, I stumbled upon some great videos from the Tea For 3 tour this past summer. For those of us not on the East side of the pond wondering what this killer lineup sounded like, look no further than the T43 playlist (above) we just compiled with some of these cuts from various locations around Europe.
Some really great performances here. My personal favorite is the performance of The Gulf— recorded and released on GPS, Vol 2: Orange Afternoons just last month—from San Sebastián, Spain.
Special thanks to Youtube user doriangrey27 for the great vids.
Tea For 3 is Dave Douglas, Enrico Rava, Avishai Cohen (trumpets), Uri Caine (piano), Linda Oh (bass), and Clarence Penn (drums).

The internet is what you make of it, that’s for sure. But sometimes even seasoned browsers could use a helping hand. Luckily for all, there are sites like Network Awesome that weed through the pap and get you what you need. This Youtube playlist curated by John Zorn is the current feature over there. From Coltrane and Getz, to Serge Gainsborg and Link Wray, to Looney Toones, this is an incredibly entertaining set of vids.
