Bro I really …
Bro I really appreciate all this. I’ma check that out and see…haha well…hear…well, see if i hear the difference between red garland’s more “typical” chord choices/voicing as you stated in relation to evans’ more “impressionistic” approach…any other jewels u wanna drop in the meantime?

Compare Miles’ …
Compare Miles’ earlier quintet pianist Red Garland who improvised lines mostly within the strict scale that goes with the chord and voiced chords in 3rds. Bill Evans in this piece here plays a lot of voicings with dissonant rubs in the chords, the 7th against the root etc. which gives it an impressionist sound. This wasn’t innovative in itself since it was already done by Debussy in the 1800s. But he brought this impressionist sound to the jazz mainstream, so he’s considered innovative.

What is truly …
What is truly remarkable about his playing is i.e. the use of quarter chords (he developed that technique very differently from McCoy Tyner in that time. And if you listen carefully you’ll notice that the way that he displaces his phrases are very unique. But to me, his voicings are the true charm. Play a Ghalfdiminished from high to low like this: G - Db - Bb - Eb - A. The first chord of Bill’s version of ” On a clear day you can see forever” He was really ahead of his time.

I don’t have access to that book at the moment but I’d love if u could summarize what Miles had to say about Bill…would be much appreciated…

I appreciate the …
I appreciate the depth of response towards my lack of knowledge about this guy. Okay so can you give me examples of his predecessors and their “standards” & “typical sensibilities” (i.e., their typical sound) and then show me an example where Bill Evans was clearly a pioneer broadening a harmonic palette expanding/refining possibilities, opening new doors for jazz musicians and adding new elements to jazz…

I think he did it all with mirrors. Nobody can play like that.

Promxious95, your …
Promxious95, your question was “but in all fairness, tell me what this guy pioneered”.
What you should do is ask Miles Davis that question (and he did so in his biography).

If Fats Waller heard this would have said: “Buddah is in the house”

He also looks like he should be in Saturday Night Fever when it comes to this time in his life haha. After reading his bio i’m sure he wouldn’t be hurt by that…supposedly as depressed he was he still had a great sense of humor haha

You can pick Bill …
You can pick Bill out of a line up anywhere. No one has ever exhibited such emotion in each note since. You have Jarrett, Corea and Hancock who are the top three but Bill could make you cry.

This was done a month before he died. Amazing he still had such stamina and grace.

This guy was a freak of nature - no way should any human being be able to play that well.
Fare thee well Bill, thanks for all the music.

yes! Bill Evans has a very distinct sound compared to other jazz pianists like Peterson or Basie. He sounds very delicate and sensual in his playing

Besides all the …
Besides all the technical hype that is true with Bill, he created a sound that was distinct to him. It’s on Kind of Blue, and also his early albums with cuts like Peace Peace. I think that it is more apparent in his slower numbers. Try Bill Evans-My Foolish Heart here on youtube. Then check out what other piano players were doing when he emerged….and maybe Bill will come to you too.

are you serious??!
Bill Evans is a school on itself, he broadened the harmonic palette in an immense way, lifted the art of the piano trio beyond a level where no one could follow Evans is the man who gave birth to most of the possible voicings and harmonic ideas. also, his way of displacing phrases and interacting with a trio is uncomparable. What you are looking at is a genius.. So please shut up about pioneers an creators of jazz. Evans is jazz at it’s most lyrical. Show some respect.

maybe i should. but what may equally be is your vanity consumes your ability to conceive of who is a revolutionary of jazz, i.e., this guy kind of reminds you of what you see in the mirror unlike the TRUE pioneers and CREATORS of jazz…
but in all fairness, tell me what this guy pioneered, and i’ll look into it…
