Late Bill Evans, Early Piano Jazz
NPR has just unearthed an early session from its Piano Jazz series hosted by Marian McPartland, and it’s a beauty: an encounter with Bill Evans, recorded during the first year of Piano Jazz broadcasts in late 1978, when Evans had just assembled what would be his last trio. Although Evans sounds vital and delightfully convivial during the broadcast, NPR’s timing proved fortuitous: Evans would be gone two years later.
