always learning Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I went and heard pianist Joe Baque last night in Olympia, WA. He played a great tune called "Some Other Time" from the Broadway show On The Town. I'm looking for a recommended rendition of the tune Some Other Time. Any suggested musicianship on cd's?

Larry Kart Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Probably Bill Evans' "Peace Piece," which is based on "Some Other Time." My preferred version is the first one, on "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" (OJC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always learning Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Jeez, I haden't conected those two pieces. "Peace Piece" is similar, isn't it? Thanks for the connection.

ghost of miles Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Not an instrumental interpretation, but there's a moving vocal version on Columbia's 1960 ON THE TOWN soundtrack (reissued on CD) that features the song's lyric writers, Adolph Green and Betty Comden. You might also want to check out the Tony Bennett/Bill Evans version found on their first collaborative album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Jeez, I haden't conected those two pieces. "Peace Piece" is similar, isn't it? Thanks for the connection. Bill even plays a hint of the SOT melody at around 5'40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Isn't "Some Other Time" on Everybody Digs Bill Evans as a bonus track? Unless my memory is failing, Peace Piece came into being when Bill was trying to work out an intro for SOT during that session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to listen to the CD with "Some Other Time" if it's not packed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always learning Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just checked out the track listing on amazon. You're right, it's the last cut. A win/win for this CD- time to pop for it. Isn't "Some Other Time" on Everybody Digs Bill Evans as a bonus track?

GA Russell Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I listened to this just the other day. Evans recorded it on Disc One of his Complete Village Vanguard 1961 box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tony Bennett & Bill Evans. Unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bill Evans recorded this tune quite a few times. It was also a favorite of pianist John Hicks who recorded it 3 or 4 times. Art Farmer's version on the album HOMECOMING is nice, but not (in my view) among his best efforts. I would say the same thing for Warren Vache's treatment on his CD DREAM DANCING. Tony Coe plays a fine solo in his Paul Gonsalves style on this CD. WARREN VACHE/TONY COE/ALAN BARNES OCTET - JUMPIN' - ZEPHYR Ralph Moore shows us his vibrato on his solo from his CD WHO IT IS YOU ARE on Savoy.
