Brent Jarvis Trio plays the music of Bill Evans - Oct. 8, 2023

Bill Evans was known for his lyrical and introspective approach to the piano as well as his rhythmic and harmonic complexity. After recording on Miles Davis’ 1959 album: Kind of Blue, Bill Evans went on to lead his own iconic trios, release groundbreaking solo piano albums, and collaborate with Stan Getz, Tony Bennett, Art Farmer, Nat Adderley, Oliver Nelson, and others.

In the 1986 documentary: Piano Legends, Chick Corea, in introducing Bill Evans, states that:
“the player with the skills and sensitivity to master its incredible expressiveness can personalize a piano to such an extent that it seems that it was built for him and him alone.”
