Just about my favourite jazz pianist ever (with Monk a close second). Bill Evans was a fascinating man - he had a lifelong love of the novels of Thomas Hardy, for example. I just read a rather mediocre biography of him, but you could still get a sense of the scale of his achievement, even through the mire of average prose.

ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you Rod. I don't know his stuff well. Just loved the photo. Will investigate.
