Larry Kart Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 about "Kind of Blue" and Miles, and at the end there is a two-part Lester Bowie interview about Miles. https://allan-chase.com/2019/05/09/bill-evans-on-miles-davis-and-kind-of-blue/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks for posting that. From that interview we can assume that Miles left Bill's name off as composer (or in the second case, co-composer) of two songs on Kind of Blue: As composer of "Blue in Green", and as co-composer of "Flamenco Sketches". It's also interesting to hear Bill's opinion for the first time of Miles' music 'meant to reach a larger audience'. I think it's not a stretch to say that he didn't think too highly of it...

Brad Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 What's the best book on Bill Evans out there? Is it the Pettinger book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgcim Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) As far as a bio goes, I'd say the Pettinger book was best. As far as his music is concerned, there are many PhD dissertations on that subject. In France, there's even a Bill Evans Piano Academy, that a friend of mine wants to visit.
