I've been learning Jim Hall's guitar solo on this...the rhythms are fucking hard! especially since there isn't any percussion giving you the downbeat.
@erasedcitizen77: Here's what Peter Pettinger wrote in his Evans biography about Bill's technique for this session: At ballad tempo he moved along gently behind the soloist with evenly spaced chords, functionally equivalent to guitar strumming, and simultaneously providing harmony, rhythm, and a a cushion for his colleague. In doing so he glided smoothly without accents, demonstrating--along with the ability to sing--another non-percussive use of his instrument.
@pianist137: You jest, but you might find it interesting to know that the photo was taken at Wikee Wachee, Florida, where they have swimming "mermaids" water ballet.
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.
I will have a conversation like this one day. Evans is the king of inspiration for me.
