WALTZ FOR DEBBY (180G VINYL)

When pianist Bill Evans died at the age of fifty-one in 1980, he had
established a different approach to tackling the art of jazz piano. His
view on improvisation encompassed a whole new outlook with regard
to keyboard exploration, constantly rejecting the ugly or the
inappropriate, always seeking the perfect and profound,
encompassing great subtlety, sophistication, taste and reflection.
This was a style totally removed from the boogie-woogie genre we
are told he often favoured during his teenage years. Contemporary
pianists such as Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock all
display elements of the Evans philosophy in some way, shape or
form.
