Durium Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 Bill Evans is one of those legendary jazz piano players in post war jazz that influenced the scene. A lot of known and less known pianists like Michel Petrucciani and Enrico Pieranunzi were inspired by his music. Jazz is not a "what", it is a "how" seems to have been said by Bill Evans, a quote I found, which wants to express his meaning that Jazz music is made at the moment you play it - that improvisation is the most important element of Jazz. In de 1970s Bill performed three times at the Tros radio program entitled Sesjun and these concerts are now available on a great 2-cd album in the series The Sesjun Radio Shows.

mr jazz Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Bill Evans at his best, impeccably recorded. Highly recommended. The disc 1 duets with Eddie Gomez are mesmerizing. Quote
