Hi Kent, I learned to play my first Bill Evans piece from your website and tutorial. Any wannabe pianists like me who want to improve their playing should check out Kent's website .
Beautiful. My wonderful mother-in-law Mary B, is now in hospital with a few days left and this will be her musical memorial for me. From a musician I truly love and admire. Bill, you were so special.X
@@ajaygrg2625 maybe. But Bill Evans was an intellectual, analyzed his music deeply and understood an incredible amount about jazz and classical harmony
So many others play chords, sometimes beautiful individually, but with no idea where they came from or to where they are going. Bill Evans turns a slideshow of chordal "still shots" into a moving picture. That is modern counterpoint, and very rare.
Bill's music fundamentals, theories, counter point study, years of experience playing with other Jazz greats and trial and error has grafted him into one of my great piano heroes. I love the shot where he is at the piano with a pencil between his fingers ready to write down his discoveries as he plays through chord changes. He plays with knowledge and feelings. He is very expressive in his approach.
He famously said that he purposely didn't teach his students everything that he could, fearing that those lucky students would lose the joy of discovering those secrets on their own.
I could sit forever and just listen to this genius, wonderful Bill Evans, so so sad he is gone but at least we can listen to his magic. Many thanks, Anna.
Bill Evans pone las notas más indicadas en cada frase de improvisación, sin acentos y buena combinación entre melodía y armonía. Un GRANDE por siempre.
Bill Evans musical prowness, does not disappoint! The feeling from the notes played & heard upon the listener, taps straight upon the heartstrings & reaches ones soul without any delay. Soooooo beyond beautiful with each note played as we listen in awe.
this is one of the most moving piece of Bill...can't stop listening to it. this is as close as what heaven must be. god bless his soul. love you Bill....
One of my favorite Bill tunes. So much of his style on full display. The amazing time, the inner voicings and their movements. And the shear beauty of it.
Many thanks for uploading. Marvellous tune. And totally Bill Evans. Which means: incredibly sensitive, melodious and intensive - simply beautiful. There's another song that always comes to my mind when listening to him: the 15 minute version of 'Never let me go' which I heard 30 years ago when I was young and immediately fell in love with.
What a wonderful interpretation of a beautiful song. It is just great to be able to hear all of this via UA-cam. Thanks for the posting.I never saw him.Damn.
This music makes me close my eyes and remember, remember better times. Remembering David, twenty three years ago today you left us. Bill Evans was so perfect, wonderful. Thanks for this.
I just wanted to say that I am working on this piece for 5 days and it's just impossible to sound like Bill. We cand certainly find better pianist but he makes the piano sound so different when he plays. It's unique.
Understandably! :) I also learned the piece. Bill Evans is underrated in the world of jazz. He is an auteur! An artist for sure, with the technical skill to allow his artistry to flourish, for want of a better phrase.
A time for love with Bill evans song that i kept listening to cuz of the melody is into me,no listening to other song now until i get to know this melody, voicing, rhythm and his emotion. What i can now understand for me is i should follow my emotion to find song, by yourself followed by knowing melody anytime,everywhere and trying to make style of mine with voicing, rhythms, emotion of him until i get this song , and then it process B section of Bills 12 songs that are my favourite them adjusting what i learend from this song. U are always with me whenever wherever,my just friend see u oneday.i sleep now with A time for love and tomorrow ..
One of Johnny Mandelll's great compositions even if it wasn't as well known as "Shadow of Your Smile." I play in the key of Bb which is the same key as Barry Harris shown on another video. Barry's version is much more subdued but they're both amazing.
This is 70s Evans isn't it ? Its so very tragic for the world that he died so prematurely . He is deciding here to ignore that huge potential for stillness or a more spacious contemplation that both he and this song contain . That said this is great too .
Can't imagine a world without Bill Evans.
Can't imagine a world without Kent Hewitt explaining Bill Evans.

yeah
Kent is amazing teacher and very cool guy.
And of course, no words for the master Evans..
No need to imagine a world without Bill Evans-you're in one!😟🤟😄
Beautiful. My wonderful mother-in-law Mary B, is now in hospital with a few days left and this will be her musical memorial for me. From a musician I truly love and admire. Bill, you were so special.X
...it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.
- Bill Evans
did he really say that?
@@ajaygrg2625 maybe. But Bill Evans was an intellectual, analyzed his music deeply and understood an incredible amount about jazz and classical harmony
@@jakesvendsen3346 pero a la hora de la verdad, la musica es sentir y nos olvidamos de estudiarla para poder gozarla hasta el ultimo suspiro.

exactly Charles...
The best and most beautiful melody…
Played by the best and most beautiful pianist.
I started learning this. Its an incredibly difficult piece!
I love you Bill Evans.Fantastic ,incredible pianist.
I need his music.I can't live one day without Bill Evans music.
fantastic performance. every note and chord is crystal clear, no blurring with the pedal.
Impeccable time. As a jazz pianist, he has few equals.
Must have been all that great classical training...
No equals but many much better..
@@ronwilsontringue6574 who? none
@@ronwilsontringue6574 you need to get off the drugs lol
So tell me why Ken Burns' jazz series for TV doesn't mention him. Not once.
So great. Awesome. Makes me wanna smile in this cold, weird world.

@@14.1guy2I love that idea, the joy of discovery is often more enjoyable than learning about a specific way to play
evans bill for my taste is the best pianist of all time , fills the soul of music
maybe, the best jazzaman of all time
Concordato
no one can playing piano like bill evans. admit it. he speaks with his heart through his piano. you can hear it in every single tune.
Из ❤России - с восхищением и любовью, величайшему мастеру гармонии и джазового звучания ! Билл Эванс - лучший из лучших музыкантов своего времени❤
I could sit forever and just listen to this genius, wonderful Bill Evans, so so sad he is gone but at least we can listen to his magic. Many thanks, Anna.
he never reached the great spiritual heights of ... Liberace!!
Bill Evans pone las notas más indicadas en cada frase de improvisación, sin acentos y buena combinación entre melodía y armonía.
Un GRANDE por siempre.
The passage from 4:25 onwards is just sensational. I can't imagine how profoundly beautiful it would have been to have heard him play this live.
Yes, I also would have given an eye and leg for such an experience.
A real heavy weight of the keyboards, very melodic

Soooooo beyond beautiful with each note played as we listen in awe.
Oh my - that is stunningly beautiful. LOVE Bill Evans - for me, the greatest musician there ever was.
Now, if you could gather together the most awesome quartet ever assembled . . . with Bill on piano, I mean . . .
@@kamakirinoko how about a sextet? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kind_of_Blue
The Best pianist ever !
Of course, sin duda
Amazing originality. such unheard of lush chords.
Bill Evans, again painting a moment in time that could never be fully repainted.
this is one of the most moving piece of Bill...can't stop listening to it. this is as close as what heaven must be. god bless his soul. love you Bill....

+HarryHipster Agreed. That long version of "Never Let Me Go" might well be his ultimate masterpiece.
Bill Evans is the best!
...this is piece is caressing my soul like I caress my cat....in a cosmic way....Bill,thank you where ever you might be.....
What a wonderful interpretation of a beautiful song. It is just great to be able to hear all of this via UA-cam. Thanks for the posting.I never saw him.Damn.
I so agree with you. Heaven on earth. God bless is soul, indeed. I love you, Bill Evans...
One Of All Time My favorites!
This music makes me close my eyes and remember, remember better times. Remembering David, twenty three years ago today you left us. Bill Evans was so perfect, wonderful. Thanks for this.
Perfect example of Bill Evans rich harmonic structures personal style and close to perfect pitch on the keyboard. There will never be another Bill.
Got my first of many albums in 1961 He's the one
ありきたりの表現じゃとても追いつかないね 繊細で知的であらゆる感情が含まれてる 浸れて幸福だ🎶
This is utterly exquisite.
he took many lessons from Fats Domino and later from Liberace
unpublished talent,!! the best of all time
Oh God, always when i hear this, my heart melts.
Pasaran los años y siempre será una joya musical
THE MOST INTIMATE PIANO OF THE JAZZ WORLD
+CIPRIANO DE RORE Yes ... I think ... One of the best mélodies from Jazz music ... bill Evans , forever ...
Listening to this just makes me wanna live happily ever after
I could listen to this all the time, wish I had been fortunate enough to have seen Bill Evans in concert. Wonderful, superb thank you for this.
no one plays a ballad like bill evans
no one ever will
This is a fantastic rendition of this song and inspires me to work on it again with my new jazz teacher.
the best of all time, indeed....
toujours merveilleux
Life is not all about feeling good all the time. Many things are worth pain and struggle in order to succeed.
exactly
Vero
Beautiful.
The best rendition of the song, period.
brilliant - my all time favorites
I will always remember a time for love
Now, imagine learning this one, and nobody to play it for.
A masterpiece! Thanks for posting and thanks for the great pics.
my favorite Bill Evans solo piano recording (along with "Here's That Rainy Day")
Isn't it more like a duet solo, if I may coin a term? I think I hear him playing two pianos.
@@noahvale939 it’s a solo, he just had huge hands, and a composer brain
Невыразимо гениально
Every note, and every choice, perfect.
dam. maybe love. is something that is most beautiful, in its right time.
Learning it... wonderful mastery.
Speechless..... :)
Really this guy was the best of all times...
I love him
