Bill Evans plays like he’s rewriting the cosmos.
@SVG__Collection This is Scott LaFaro on double bass and he is always one of my favorite Jazz bassists. LaFaro died in an automobile accident on July 6, 1961, aged only 25 and that was when Jazz lost a great talent...
@SVG__Collection As Miles said of how he played: “Crystal notes cascading down from some clear waterfall.”
@SVG__Collection @PSzubartowicz Waltz for Debby. Mój ukochany utwór.
@SVG__Collection Really like the vocal version with Evans and Tony Bennett.
@SVG__Collection I will always love his style of playing and his music in general. It reminds me of the music on Mr. Rogers. The style of the piano on that jazz playing on that show, you’d swear it was Bill Evans’s piano. Also, you could see they modeled Schroeder on Peanuts cartoons after him.
@SVG__Collection @RonCarterBass He’s buried not far from me in Baton Rouge next to his brother. Such a sad end to a magnificent artist.
@SVG__Collection Lyrical poet laureate of the piano.
@SVG__Collection I've heard this hundreds of times yet I just got goose bumps listening to it over my laptop speakers. Powerful stuff. The essence of being human.
@SVG__Collection @LibrarySheet Really a special player
@SVG__Collection He starts out in a slow tempo and gradually picks up until by the time he's joined by the bass and drums he's flyin'. " plays like he's rewriting the cosmos.." Love that.
@SVG__Collection Guaraldi had a genius for melody and expression. Monk had a genius for rhythm and innovation. Evans could do it all.
@SVG__Collection What a wonderful performance, even in such a short amount of footage.
