Read "Bill Evans: 1929-1980" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Who Was Bill Evans?

Pianist Bill Evans: A Retrospective

Read "Pianist Bill Evans: A Retrospective" reviewed by Mark Sabbatini

by Mark Sabbatini

Introduction Arguably the greatest jazz pianist of the 1960s and '70s, Bill Evans is a remarkable study of extraordinary discipline and disorder clashing to form some of the most beautiful music of all time. He played an equal role with Miles Davis in composing Kind Of Blue , the top-selling jazz album ever, yet ...

Read "You Must Believe In Spring" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

After more than a decade as one of the pianist's most sympathetic bassists, this was Eddie Gomez's last recording with Evans, a trio set with drummer Eliot Zigmund recorded in 1977 and released after Evans' death in 1980.Evans never stopped searching for new ideas. He might be faulted for repeatedly looking for them in ...

Bill Evans: New Jazz Conceptions

Read "New Jazz Conceptions" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert

The first album by any given artist is not likely to be their best, for obvious reasons: most are still developing a style and honing their craft. This 1956 session, Bill Evans’ first as a leader, is no different. The introverted pianist had to be virtually forced into recording as a leader, but these early explorations ...
