by AAJ Staff
Who Was Bill Evans?

Pianist Bill Evans: A Retrospective
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 might be faulted for repeatedly looking for them in ...
Bill Evans: New Jazz Conceptions
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.
