About Bill Evans

William John Evans (better known as Bill Evans) (August 16, 1929 – September 15, 1980) was one of the most famous and influential American jazz pianists of the 20th century. His use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines influenced a generation of pianists, including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Denny Zeitlin, and Keith Jarrett, as well as as guitarists Lenny Breau and Pat Metheny. The music of Bill Evans continues to inspire younger pianists like Fred Hersch, Ray Reach, Bill Charlap, David Thompson, Geoffrey Keezer, Lyle Mays, and Eliane Elias. Although some critics have surmised that Brad Mehldau had been significantly influenced by Bill Evans, he has denied the assertion by saying that he has his own style which at times shows characteristics present in Bill's play.
