Bill Evans (Jazz)
Bill Evans somehow learned to distill beauty from the air and make it pure. His crystalline, impressionistic touch on the piano produced ballads to dive into deeply. His faster pieces are less accessible, often jagged and angular. Evans was an in-demand sideman in the late 1950s and the catalyst behind Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album. He preferred to work with his own trio, but he also recorded stellar albums with Jim Hall, Stan Getz, and Tony Bennett. On his own, he multi-tracked Conversations with Myself, yet another milestone. Despite his scholarly image, Evans was plagued with drug addiction for the majority of his adult life. His "NYC's No Lark" depicts the horrors he saw and should keep everyone just hooked on Evans' music.
