When pianist Bill Evans died at the age of fifty-one in 1980, he hadestablished a different approach to tackling the art of jazz piano. Hisview on improvisation encompassed a whole new outlook with regardto keyboard exploration, constantly rejecting the ugly or theinappropriate, always seeking the perfect and profound,encompassing great subtlety, sophistication, taste and reflection.This was a style totally removed from the boogie-woogie genre weare told he often favoured during his teenage years. Contemporarypianists such as Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock alldisplay elements of the Evans philosophy in some way, shape orform.
