His crystalline, impressionistic touch on the piano produced ballads to dive into deeply. Though he could be a mainstream, swinging jazz pianist, his faster pieces are often less accessible, jagged and angular. Evans was an in-demand sideman in the late 1950s and the main creative catalyst behind Miles Davis' <I>Kind of Blue</I> album. He preferred to work with his own trio (his piano/bass/drums recordings are among the most influential in modern jazz), but he also recorded stellar albums with Jim Hall, Stan Getz, and Tony Bennett. On his own, he multi-tracked <I>Conversations with Myself</I>, yet another milestone. Despite his scholarly image, Evans was plagued with drug addiction for the majority of his adult life. His "NYC's No Lark" depicts some of the pain he experienced he saw and should keep everyone hooked exclusively on Bill Evans' music. - Nick DedinaJazz Pianoen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:15:05 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61715&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fbill-evans-2%2Fplaylists.rss Bill Evans somehow learned to distill beauty from the air and make it pure.
