He was so thin for so long and then he just blew up and turned into a fat man before he died so early. What a pity. He had a beautiful touch and conception. Nice substitutions and harmonic shifting. He was the master of working the middle of the sound. There were others who were faster and who played more notes but Bill chose his wisely and played nice changes and shifting harmonies.
Because it would be foolish to deny Evans' considerable talent and harmonic language I didn't give him a thumbs down for his muscular rendition of a romantic ballad. But I prefer Tony Bennett's, or even better, Shirley Horn. /watch?v=vSL5AHhpi6U
He's definitely one of a kind. It's always good to see true musical talent recognized and appreciated and Bill Evans deserves all the recognition he is given and more.
Bill's music fundamentals, theories, counter point study, years of experience playing with other Jazz greats and trial and error has grafted him into one of my great piano heroes. I love the shot where he is at the piano with a pencil between his fingers ready to write down his discoveries as he plays through chord changes. He plays with knowledge and feelings. He is very expressive in his approach.
if you have to study, listen to bill, if you hate to work listen to bill, if you're having a hard time, listen to bill, if you gonna fuck someone listen to bil while doing so,
@masumi - I find and think of you right off so beautiful and maybe if I am lucky I share with you something you do not have, he is at top of his game here sounds so wonderful - Ahhh Yes I love this one and I hope you do too, maybe you have already that would be a good thing too. Best Wishes - Bobby
my amazing piano teacher Henry Botham (find him on youtube) played this for me at my last lesson ... just kicking myself that I came to learning the piano far too late!
Here we come across the sudden farewell , now we just the standding point to rely some intimates to be on our sidepass or across. It is so clear to wash out sorrowful greetings of days so long distant. On that rainy days…
@Rheostatik There is a book called the "Artistry of Bill Evans" and the transcription for one of the "Alone" album takes is in it. Along with some great others. Anyway, just thought that I would say that in case anyone else was looking for it. It's a great tune. And an accurate transcription.
this is one of the most moving piece of Bill...can't stop listening to it. this is as close as what heaven must be. god bless his soul. love you Bill....
...this is piece is caressing my soul like I caress my cat....in a cosmic way....Bill,thank you where ever you might be.....

...it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

Bill Evans pone las notas más indicadas en cada frase de improvisación, sin acentos y buena combinación entre melodía y armonía.
Un GRANDE por siempre.
