Description
Bill Evans (1929-1980) is considered by many to be the most influential jazz pianist of the post-World War II era. His inventive arrangements of standards and singing melodic lines paved the way for generations of musicians, and remains a major influence today. Famous for his pioneering work with Miles Davis, Evans led a life of triumphant highs and bitter personal lows, both of which eventually contributed to his early death.
