Summary
"Bill Evans was the pianist on Miles Davis's classic 'Kind of blue album' and a key figure in the development of modern jazz piano. This new book details his wide-ranging and absorbing career, from freelance work in the 1950s, through his groundbreaking trios and solo records, to the intense final phase before his death in 1980."--back cover.
