Release Notes:
Bill Evans has been one of the most influential pianistsùif not
one of the most influential musiciansùin the history of modern
jazz. Everybody who likes piano music enjoys listening to BillÆs
playing, and that is why he is so big today, more than 25 years
after he died in 1980. When in 1956 he joined the quartet of the
acclaimed clarinetist Tony Scott, BillÆs playing caused much talk
among musicians and big things were predicted for him. ôWhen I
started out, I worked very simply, but I always knew what I was
doing,ö said Evans of that time. In these early recordings as a
sideman, Bill Evans demonstrates, with apparent effortlessness and
without straining for gimmicks, what a strong and intelligent
improviser he already was in those early years.
