Ok, so there are about one hundred million reasons (give or take) why you need to know about Bill Evans. His re-harmonizations of standards and work with extended chords is phenomenal. There is no doubt that he changed the way jazz was played by pianists everywhere.
I’m no pianist but Evans’ music has been a big influence on me. I can listen to his music all day (literally) and never get tired of it. One of my all time favorite tunes is How My Heart Sings off the 1962 album of the same name.
Below is a list of what I consider the top 5 Bill Evans tunes. I hope you dig them and explore more of his music.
Seeing him in action is pretty awesome, too! Click here find some video footage.
