  1. ‘It’s the story of what happens when the music stops’: bringing tormented jazz legend Bill Evans to life
    By John Lewis

  2. This week I listened to "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" [1] by the Bill Evans Trio.

    There are many great #piano trios, but this combo really stands out. Impeccable taste combined with humility and understatement. What a wonderful piece of art.

    I remembered bassist Scott La Faro in the wake of the news of Glen Hansard's passing, while pondering how many artists humanity has lost way too early.

    Both Scott and Glen could have graced us with so much more of their works, but at least their recorded legacy will stay with us.

    Let's enjoy the beautiful things.

  3. `Motian noted, "We were supposed to make a record date with Miles [Davis]: the trio, Bill, myself and Scott. ... We were talking to Miles about it, it was all set up, and then Scott got killed and the whole thing got forgotten."`

  5. BILL EVANS TRIO
    Waltz For Debby
    1985 U.S. reissue

    Another perfect choice for a delightful, lazy Sunday afternoon.

    I’m a big fan of the quiet-ish mellow Bill Evans records, and other than You Must Believe In Spring, this might be my favorite one.

    It’s so laid back, so beautiful, and one of those all-purpose any time, anywhere kind of records.

    Maximum Sunday chillage.
