RIP Burt Bacharach. What an eloquent version of a brilliant song.

I had the pleasure and the honour, of working opposite Bill Evans and Eddie Gomez at a gig the John Handy band which pianist Mike Nock and I were members of, sharing a week of nightly performances, in San Fran Sisco at the Both And Jazz Club, 1968. What a joy this was, listening each night to one of the greatest Jazz Pianists of our time.

No one could interpret a ballad better than Bill Evans.

Jazz, beyond jazz. Go elsewhere. Purest pearls of a music that reaches the top of the sublime. Grazie Bill.

How amazing. The great Bill Evans' tribute to the great Burt Bacharach.

このソフトタッチのピアノがたまりません
いかにもビルエヴァンスといった感じ。

Lovely! My Great Aunt Olga was his piano teacher. She taught him well ;)

[ChineseBuddy]

One of only a few pianists who can make any piano sound like their own unique instrument. The others in my opinion are McCoy Tyner, Monk and Ellington.

BILL was a Genius you know? A Genius !!!

[TheRudydog]

Wonderful creative jazz with Mr Evans still allowing the beautifully written melody its due respect.

[anthonykane]

Bill recorded this several times. My favorite is on his album, "California Here I Come" This is a live album, when he had Philly Joe Jones on drums.

[SaltosAxe]

Bill Evans always played with the best bassists.

[marcology]

Miles said of Bill, " when he play, its like the brautiful sound of water cascading down the mounyainside".

[chumleyshaver]

Such powerful emotion, makes my chest ache

[MickAneworderfan]

What can be cooler than Evans playing Bacharach? Tell me. What?

[vinzelrato]

the first notes remind me Jacques Loussier's version of Bach "Air", sort of...

[besocerqueira]

Great rendition. Does anyone know where & when was it recorded?
