Bill Evans Discography and Bill Evans Biography
 Bill Evans was one of the most influential pianists of
jazz. He developed the style of "rootless voicings"
in which the chord emphasizes some essential notes, but
the bassist will often play the root. Evans also used the
sustaining pedal extensively but subtly. His impressionist,
classical inspired playing was an influence on Herbie Hancock,
Keith Jarrett, and Chick Corea. Evans felt pianists should
be proficient in technique and harmony in order to best
express themselves. He also increased the interplay betWeen
the leader and the bassist and drummer in his piano trios.
Evans was born in 1929. While in college, he played with Mundell LoWe and Red Mitchell. Evans made his recording debut as leader of a trio in 1956. He also recorded with Charles Mingus and George Russell. In 1958 Evans played on Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue album. His 1959-61 trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian was one of the greatest of the genre. LaFaro died in a car accident and later recordings featured Eddie Gomez most extensively on bass and Marty Morell on drums. Gary Peacock, Philly Joe Jones, Jack DeJohnette, and many others also passed through his trio. Evans also recorded solo, in duos, and in large groups with Lee Konitz, Zoot Sims, Freddie Hubbard, and others. In 1978 he formed a new trio with Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera which was considered his best since 1961. Evans drug problems contributed to his death from a stomach ulcer in 1980. |
