Billfreaks, you are invited to a beautiful Bill Evans master class on YT! The class includes an in-depth analysis of Bill's classic solo performance "A Time for Love". You will LOVE this, promise:) Type in "Dave Frank" Bill Evans on YT.
That 2 minute run from around 56 sec to 2'51 is the most original ingenious innovative artistic inventive brilliant aesthetic astounding adroit incredible learned discriminating erudite refined - set apart - piano solo I've ever heard. It sounds like somebody from another, more intellectually advanced world is doing it. I'm not a piano player but did it sound so original i.e., 'different' because he played all 'minors' or played it all in a 'minor' key? The solo was from another zone.
@adeduction You could transcribe it and figure it all out rhythmically and harmonically but that would not explain its essence. You are exactly right in your description. I had the good fortune to hear Bill Evans live in 1964 and I would describe that experience as like being in another reality. In 47 years I have not experienced anything else like it. I don't think there ever will be another Bill Evans.
@kocn53 I don't think so either. The only person who played like him was his older brother Harry. They were very close and started playing piano togther when they were young. There are some videos of Harry Evans here at youtube that will eventually take you to a web page by that name where you can download his whole album - which is quite remarkable - or individual tunes. Also there's a very moving enlightening bio of Bill Evans & his family written by Harry Evan's widow. Check it out.
@adeduction Thank you for the information. The website is harry e vans trio dot com and contains a great deal of very interesting material. I knew that Harry had been important in Bill's life, but not to the extent revealed here. Thanks again.
