Who Was Bill Evans?
Bill Evans, one of the most influential and tragic figures of the post-bop jazz piano, was known for his highly nuanced touch, the clarity of the feeling content of his music and his reform of the chord voicing system pianists used. He recorded over fifty albums as leader and received five Grammy awards. He spawned a school of "Bill Evans style" or "Evans inspired" pianists, who include some of the best known artists of our day, including Michel Petrucciani, Andy Laverne, Richard Beirach, Enrico Pieranunzi and Warren Bernhardt. His inescapable influence on the very sound of jazz piano has touched virtually everybody of prominence in the field after him (as well as most of his contemporaries), and he remains a monumental model for jazz piano students everywhere, even inspiring a newsletter devoted solely to his music and influence.

Amaury Faye: A French Jazz Composer Returns To The Source

A piano teacher exposed him to ragtime which led to Art Tatum, which led him to Ahmad Jamal and the great jazz trios. He released trio recordings in 2016, 2017, and 2018 and a solo album, Buran (L'Esprit du ...
A Waltz for Ludwig
by Blue Note Portal
There are rare sacred moments when music stops being sound and becomes light. A perfect note hangs in the air, silence breathes, and for the space of a heartbeat, the veil thins--revealing a place where music lives, along with pure thought, beyond time, space and language. There is only harmonic resonance: the silent conversation between souls ...

Masabumi Kikuchi: Hanamichi--The Final Studio Recording Vol. II
by Dan McClenaghan
Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi (1939 -2015) enjoyed a decent profile via his albums under his own name--30-plus discs--and from his work with drummer Paul Motian and bassist Gary Peacock in his Tethered Moon group. But he deserved more. He was an original who worked in an inspired--if somewhat quirky--journeyman fashion until he bloomed in his late ...
