Biography

US born jazz pianist Bill Evans' impressionist style became the blueprint for jazz musicians to follow, and his work has been cited as an influence on Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and many more. His classic "Peace Piece" is suggestive of new age pianists such as George Winston.

Evans was taught classical piano by his mother, also picking up the violin and flute. He went on to study… Read more in Amazon's Bill Evans Store

5.0 out of 5 stars First-rate album, July 26, 1999

James Kim "jaimetown" (Northern Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Solo Sessions 1 (Audio CD)

This album sets the standard for an intimate session by a solo piano. It's hard to find music more vulnerable yet precise in technique and finesse. This album is peaceful yet heartbreaking at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars songs of despair, March 2, 2007

JEAN-MARIE JUIF (BESANCON France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Solo Sessions 1 (Audio CD)

This record ( and its pair, volume 2) may be the most underrated record by the immense Bill Evans.Both volumes were recorded on the same day, January 10,1963, and they are exceptionnal. In fact, this is some of the greatest stuff Bill Evans ever recorded. One and a half year after Scott LaFaro's tragic death, Bill Evans is alone in a studio, and simply plays some of the greatest tunes he ever recorded. This is a very desperate album, a very sad one, but the music is completely outstanding. This is simply beauty. Bill's version of "my favorite things" is absolutely incredible, and so are the other tunes. These records have always been among my favorites by Bill Evans. Magnificent, essential to every jazz lover. You can't miss it!!!
