I did my thesis on Bill's music. Late 70's. Then I caught him live at a local club, went back to his dressing room on the break, told him and he was flattered. He and Marc Johnson were eating pizza. Very casual, no pretense. A few years later he died suddenly at 51 and I still know where I was when I heard the news. The world is a more beautiful place because of Bill Evans. Like so many artists, he suffered greatly. But also like with many artists, great beauty grew from the pain. And the beauty remains.

The Christian philospher Soren Kierkegaard once said, "A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music." Bill Evans was a poet in this sense.

Here’s a story for you. Back in February 1969, my brother at college wrote a letter to me letting me know about his new album, Bill Evans Trio. He said “you really need to listen to it. I think you’ll love it.” Well, I just found that letter and realized that I had never checked out Bill Evans. Snd so today 7/28/23, I KZitem him and realized that my brother was right. And now, in my latter years, I can enjoy the works of a master musician… He is definitely in the company of greatness!

He is by far one of the few select musicians that leaves the impression of his songs ending at the right time. Never do I get the feeling that they end too soon or run on too long. For me that is perfection. Never overstating because it's not necessary. Obviously it's a testament to the composer providing good bones but with jazz it's too easy to get carried away.

Many years ago, I played a dozen albums by the greatest jazz pianists of all time for a friend who was a top classical player. He knew next to nothing about jazz, but was willing to listen. I gave him everyone from Erroll Garner, to Dave Brubeck, to Oscar Peterson. But of all those albums, he only commented on TWO. The first was Art Tatum, who, "blew him away." But when I asked him about Bill Evans, he thought for a moment, then said this: "THIS guy was so far ahead of all the rest, like someone from a different planet. I cannot easily explain it." He didn't realize that he just did.

Another interesting memory... My friend was a fantastic classical player, but he couldn't even play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by ear. He was that chained to the printed page (classical players don't improvise). But he loved Bill Evans so much, that he paid a music transposer to actually put "Waltz for Debby" on sheet music, note for note. If cost him a fortune, but he finally had something he could actually play:) One of my greatest joys was to turn him on to jazz music until the day he died.

Bill did a master class at Eastman School when I was there, circa 1974. He held up his hands, and apologized that he couldn't play for us. His fingers were swollen like hot dog weenies, and his fingers could not fit in between the black keys. Only later did we find out he was on methadone, trying to kick the heroin habit he had developed with Philly Jo Jones. He was doing the master class with Phil Woods. They both agreed there was no such thing as a b13 chord (which is everywhere today, lol) Phil said "it's a #5, man, or sometimes a b6!" I've always remembered that. I saw Bill many times, but most poignantly I saw him at Rick's Cafe Américain in Chicago in August 1980, 3 weeks before his death. I, too went backstage to talk to him about how much we studied his music at Eastman, and he was very happy about that. He is in a small handful of consummate jazz artists I admire, and I agree he didn't die because he lives forever in his music.

Thanks for the tidbit (from Bill and Phil Woods) about no such thing as a flat 13 (it's often a #5). One of my pet peeves. Although there are certain instances where the progression makes it clear that it's really a flat 13 because it follows a normal 13 and resolves lower (numerous examples in Jobim bossas, etc.). For me a flat 13 is just unnecessarily hard to think about unless the progression explicitly calls for it. Bass players of course are affected by this distinction as well: they could justufy playing a natural 5th under a flat 13 chord while it would clearly be a poor choice under a G7 #5 chord for example ...

I'm in this "crazy" relationship, as I would love to describe, he is a very honest man, so hyped all the time, a little bit too crazy, never hesitates to do anything, so full with ideas and art. I met him on a vacation I was on, because I am leaving the country soon, so he is, we instantly clicked, ever since the first moment our eyes met. As he said he is planning to marry me, and he seems serious about it, I don't know why, but I always laugh when he says that, I guess I'm just used to that kind of promises at this point, and before we met, I realized that I can love a person too much, without being so sad they left, I realized that everyone is going to leave at some point, and because of too many reasons. Now, my boyfriend, and my uncle, are outside on the balcony, on a very beautiful starry night in December, and I am inside, listening to this piece, questioning if I and that guy ended up spending our lives together, how it will be like, and knowing that, I love him too much, and I don't really know if he really feels the same.

For the pianist I've idolized for over 50 years as a musician, I've always loved what Miles used to say about Bill--"Bill Evans plays with this quiet fire!" I was fortunate to have had three encounters one-on-one with Bill.The 2nd--and most meaningful to me-- was when Bill appeared in L.A. with Chuck Israels and Paul Motian. I spent 3 hours with Bill in his motel north of the Capitol Records Bldg. I learned a great deal about Bill that day. We talked about music, of course, but also philosophy, even sports! Bill let me copy chord changes to some of the songs he performed. Most interesting to me was these changes were written on matchbook covers, napkins and menus! I saw no "book"! My experiences with Bill will always be close to my heart, and as a pianist-composer of 50+ years, Bill remains the biggest influence of my musical life.

Wow...what a gifted artist. I love the song...reflective,passionate,sensitive....'like someone in love'. Wonder who he was thinking of when he wrote it. Thank you for sharing.

Bill Evans was a genius. There are many in the world of jazz. But his sensitivity in playing ballads is unsurpassed. Ben Webster said, 'Anyone can play hip-shaking music. Takes soul to play a ballad'. Like many tragic players he died too young. But listening to this and My Foolish Heart. It just stops you. Llucky we still have his music....

I don't think I've found an artist as consistently touching as Bill Evans seems to be. I'm new to jazz so I think a lot more remains to be seen but I couldn't have asked for a better place to start!

I've probably listened to this a few hundred times. I wish everyone could know about Bill Evans and his beautiful music. This is my favorite recording of all time and I'll listen to it a million more times before I die. Everyone has some song that is so special to them and this is that for me. This is undoubtedly the most beautiful piece of music in all the world. Thank you Bill Evans.

it's his technique that's really interesting. he is refining his classical technique in the jazz idiom and that's why it sounds it so unique -- he wasn't a 'pure' jazz pianist. he had a more rich flow to his playing set by the all the subtleties in his technique from learning classical piano.

My dear Bill, I know you're just a far soul in the deepest elysium... But I'd really desire to ask you... Did you steal the awe from heaven so that you were able to paint this music with such a perfect blossoming of colors and tones? No... Don't mind Bill... I know you probably don't even know how all this mood was flowing from you magic.. But I am sure that all the mankind should just say four single easy words: Forever Thank you Bill...

With the chops this guy has, and to play with this much taste and class on such a beautiful song, displays greatness in every aspect. Evans was a great one. Beautiful recording. I like that the tape hiss hasn't been all removed and the track occasionally distorts.

Comme les premières lueurs d’un soleil bienfaisant, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrice de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, cette piéce tire les ficelles du cœur, attire les nostalgies et réveille les amours, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés 🤠

It’s ok to listen to Evans when you’re sad, down or just melancholy as this is why he wrote this kind of music. To evoke emotions and let you know we are all in the same boat. Thanks Bill
