Best Of Bill Evans On Verve, The - Bill Evans

Advantages: Moving, beautiful harmonies and solos.
Disadvantages: Not everyone likes jazz

...Over the years my taste in different jazz styles has changed, but Bill Evans still stands out as one of my favourite musicians; the artist who originally enticed me into the world of Jazz, and whose work has significantly affected my own style as a Jazz pianist. Recoded in 1981, ‘You Must Believe Ins Spring’ contains pieces of a less upbeat and syncopated style than that of his earlier work, and instead more flowing, beautiful pieces, played with the heart-felt lyricism for which Evans is renowned.

...Ever since I saw Kill Bill at the cinema back in November, I have become obsessed with the film, its actors/actresses. I am IN Love with it; in fact my life is meaningless without it. This is no joke either; my life is Kill Bill orientated. The night that I came back from seeing Kill Bill at the cinema in Bluewater I even pretended that I was a character in the film and was pretending to fight with an imaginary Samurai sword! Immediately on my Christmas list I put ‘any Kill Bill merchandise’, therefore it came as no surprise that seeing as the film was not available to buy on DVD or Video that somebody would buy me the Soundtrack. Which thankfully, I got. ~~~What Does The Soundtrack Look Like?~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see from the above picture it takes a similar stance...
