The Bill Evans Omnibook for Piano Review The Bill Evans Omnibook for Piano Review March 5, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment Today, I am reviewing the Bill Evans Omnibook for piano that is published by Hal Leonard. Hal Leonard has already released many other great Omnibooks that I have already reviewed here including the Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker Volume 2, Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane Omnibooks. These are all saxophone players of course, so in the interest of being more “well rounded”, I thought it would be a good idea to check out a non-saxophone Omnibook. I can think of no better non-saxophone playing musician to check out than the incomparable Bill Evans on piano. Bill Evans Here is a short bio of Bill Evans from Wikipedia: “William John Evans (August 16, 1929 – September 15, 1980) was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly played in trios. His use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, “singing” melodic lines continue to influence jazz pianists today.” I have many piano recordings of Bill Evans in my CD library. I love listening to his beautiful piano playing when I want to relax and just chill out. I also like playing his music when I have company over to the house as it just sets up the perfect ambiance and class to a dinner or social event. The colors of his chord voicings, the melodic and lyrical performance, the rhythmic variances in his playing and the interplay and communication between the piano, bass and drums is exciting and rewarding to listen to. Bill Evans Omnibook for Piano The person who transcribed all of these great Bill Evans’ solos does not seem to be mentioned in this Omnibook. Maybe he wants to remain anonymous? Regardless of that, I just have to comment on how amazing this person’s ears must be to hear all these chords, voicings, inversions and rhythms. Whoever this person is, they must be a dedicated fan of Mr. Evans’ playing to spend the countless hours it must have took to transcribe all of these solos. The Bill Evans Omnibook is created with the same standard of excellence as the other Hal Leonard Omnibooks. It is coil bound so it is easy to open on a music stand and it stays open and flat when you are reading from it. The coils are big enough that it is easy to change the pages quickly on the fly. The book is 356 pages long and has 40 solos in it. Here is the complete list of the solos: The Bill Evans Omnibook Song List Alice in Wonderland, Autumn Leaves, Bill’s Hit Tune, Blue in Green, Days of Wine and Roses, Emily, Everything Happens to Me, Five, For Nenette, How About You?, How My Heart Sings, I Loves You Porgy, It Could Happen To You, Just You Just Me, Letter To Evan, My Foolish Heart, My Funny Valentine, My Romance, Nardis, Night and Day, One for Helen, Peace Piece, Peri’s Scope, Quiet Now, Re:Person I Knew, Skating in Central Park, A Sleepin’ Bee, Some Other Time, Stella By Starlight, Song from MASH, 34 Skidoo, Time Remembered, The Touch of Your Lips, Turn Out the Stars, Very Early, Waltz for Debbie, What Kind of Fool Am I?, Who Can I Turn To, You Go To My Head, You Must Believe in Spring *I have posted all the recordings of these solos I could find on Youtube at the bottom of this page (I found all of them). This is as much a resource for myself as it is for all of you. As I work through the book, I can always come back here to this page to easily find the recordings to listen to as I look at the transcriptions. Bill Evans Omnibook for Piano The Bill Evans Omnibook for Piano is very easy to read considering that many of the piano transcription are so complicated. Each solo has the chord symbols written above each measure. There are rehearsal letters and the transcriptions are spaced out evenly and cleanly making them easier to read. Another great feature of the Bill Evans Omnibook is that the melodies are included on every transcription. Many transcriptions these days only include the solos because of copyright limitations but Hal Leonard has included these great melodies and written them out in detail. There is so much more I could write about, I truly love Bill Evans’ playing and what is captured on these pages in this book! It is just a plethora of incredible flowing lines, phrasings, chord voicings and melodic ideas that can be worked on for a lifetime. What I love the most about Bill Evans’ piano playing is his deliberate use of space. So often, I listen to sax players who seem intent with filling up every ounce of space available in their solos. Bill Evans takes his time and leaves space at moments where you are left wondering what will happen next. We don’t need to fill every space. Space is good! One thing to think about as a sax player reading this review, is the impact of studying a jazz player’s solos who is not a saxophone player. Within minutes of following along with Bill Evans on these solos, I noticed so many musical differences between what he was playing and what sax players usually play. Many elements are connected to the piano but others are connected to Bill Evans the musician. The length of the lines, the lack of the common “saxophone” licks every sax player memorizes, the differences in the range of the lines, the feeling of freedom in the lines when you think about the whole keyboard laid out before Bill Evans. Lastly, as I mentioned above, the space. Most of these recordings are in the trio setting which gives the piano player the responsibility of not only soloing but also comping behind himself while he solos. We sax players probably don’t grasp the difficulty of this but we probably also don’t grasp the freedom involved with having creative control of not only the solo but the comping as well. I would venture to say that as I read through a few of Bill Evans’ solos today that there seemed to be more creative license involved. More creative surprises to the listener if you will. We, sax players, can learn a lot from that side of the pond I think…….. Even though I am a hack of a piano player, I have already spent a few hours playing some of these solos and chord voicings out on my piano (really slowly!). It is great to be able to hear the piano chords played by Bill Evans and then be able to look at the page to see all the notes he chose for that chord. It is very enlightening and educational. I look forward to spending many more hours with this great book and Bill Evans’ recordings. Great job by Hal Leonard in creating another great Omnibook in their collection that includes John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Wynton Marsalis, Joe Pass, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz and now Cannonball Adderley. You can get the book from Amazon through the link below. Right now it is 33% off! If you end up getting the Bill Evans Omnibook please feel free to come back and share your thoughts and comments with all of us below. If you have other thoughts about Bill Evans, I would love to hear them also. Thank you to Bill Evans for your amazing and beautiful contribution to this music and thank you for the anonymous transcriber that put all the work into transcribing these great solos! Disclosure: I received the books mentioned above for free from Hal Leonard in the hope that I would perhaps review them here on my blog. If you purchase the book from any of the Amazon links above I will make a small commission that I will use to support this site. Regardless, I only review saxophone related products that I enjoy and believe will be good for other saxophone players to try also. Steve.

Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

  • Birth of the Film by Bruce Spiegel
    Bill Evans Time Remembered Birth of the Film by Bruce Spiegel There was a crystal moment when you knew for certain this Bill Evans movie was going to happen. And it was all due to drummer Paul Motian. But let me digress for a moment. I have been listening to jazz since I was a kid, not knowing why but just listening. My father had a webcor portable record player and he had a small but mighty collection of brand new 33 rpm albums. There was Benny Goodman in hi fi, there was the Uptown Stars play Duke Ellington. Illinois Jacquet and Slam Stewart; then there was Fats Waller, and with Honeysuckle Rose and the flip side of the 45, Your Feet’s Too Big. How I loved that song. “Up in Harlem there was 4 of us, me your two big feet, and you!” At college level or maybe it was high school, it was Art Blakey and the Jazz messengers, moaning Horace silver, everything of his, and then the cavalcade began with Monk, Trane, and Miles. I bought an old fisher- amp, speaker and record player and got everything possible, all the way from Louis Armstrong to Jelly Roll Morton; from Teddy Wilson to Sonny Clark. For me it was a young thirst for the best in jazz, just a lifetime of searching for the best records, the real records. And making a collection of them. It was a life-long journey. I had heard Bill Evans but it wasn’t until I was older, much older that I was smitten; really hit hard with his music.

  • The Modality of Miles Davis and John Coltrane14
    CURRENT A HEAD ■ 371 MILES DAVIS so what JOHN COLTRANE giant steps JOHN COLTRANE acknowledgement MILES DAVIS e.s.p. THE MODALITY OF MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE14 ■ THE SORCERER: MILES DAVIS (1926–1991) We have encountered Miles Davis in earlier chapters, and will again in later ones. No one looms larger in the postwar era, in part because no one had a greater capacity for change. Davis was no chameleon, adapting himself to the latest trends. His innovations, signaling what he called “new directions,” changed the ground rules of jazz at least fi ve times in the years of his greatest impact, 1949–69. ■ In 1949–50, Davis’s “birth of the cool” sessions (see Chapter 12) helped to focus the attentions of a young generation of musicians looking beyond bebop, and launched the cool jazz movement. ■ In 1954, his recording of “Walkin’” acted as an antidote to cool jazz’s increasing deli- cacy and reliance on classical music, and provided an impetus for the development of hard bop. ■ From 1957 to 1960, Davis’s three major collaborations with Gil Evans enlarged the scope of jazz composition, big-band music, and recording projects, projecting a deep, meditative mood that was new in jazz. At twenty-three, Miles Davis had served a rigorous apprenticeship with Charlie Parker and was now (1949) about to launch the cool jazz © HERMAN LEONARD PHOTOGRAPHY LLC/CTS IMAGES.COM movement with his nonet. wwnorton.com/studyspace 371 7455_e14_p370-401.indd 371 11/24/08 3:35:58 PM 372 ■ CHAPTER 14 THE MODALITY OF MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE ■ In 1959, Kind of Blue, the culmination of Davis’s experiments with modal improvisation, transformed jazz performance, replacing bebop’s harmonic complexity with a style that favored melody and nuance.

  • Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021)
    Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021) I’ve been amassing corrections and additions since the August, 2012 publication of Pepper Adams’ Joy Road. Its 2013 paperback edition gave me a chance to overhaul the Index. For reasons I explain below, it’s vastly superior to the index in the hardcover version. But those are static changes, fixed in the manuscript. Discographers know that their databases are instantly obsolete upon publication. New commercial recordings continue to get released or reissued. Audience recordings are continually discovered. Errors are unmasked, and missing information slowly but surely gets supplanted by new data. That’s why discographies in book form are now a rarity. With the steady stream of updates that are needed to keep a discography current, the internet is the ideal medium. When Joy Road goes out of print, in fact, my entire book with updates will be posted right here. At that time, many of these changes will be combined with their corresponding entries. Until then, to give you the fullest sense of each session, please consult the original entry as well as information here. Please send any additions, corrections or comments to http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/, despite the content of the current blog post.

  • Bill Evans •••••••••••••••••••••• Turn out the Stars the Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980
    6 DISC SET Bill Evans •••••••••••••••••••••• Turn Out the Stars The Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980 Though these extraordinary 1980 recordings were made only months before pianist Bill Evans’ untimely death on September 15, 1980, at the age of 51, they capture a beginning far more than an end. At the time of their initial release in 1996, jazz critic Gary Giddins hailed them as “an important find – the most lyrical of improvisers was revitalized by a new trio in his favorite jazz club.” Fellow Village Voice writer Will Friedwald concurred: “Evans is as irrepressibly romantic as ever on these live recordings, but at the same time there’s an aggression to his playing that makes these newly discovered documents some of the most exciting music of his career... he proves that he can really tear into the keyboard and still sound like Bill Evans. Continually prodded by [bassist Marc] Johnson and [drummer Joe] LaBarbera even as he's inspiring them, this is tenderness supported by strength and even bite.” Evans had clearly found players to match his first trio from 20 years earlier, which had cut a landmark live recording at the Village Vanguard in 1961. That now-legendary lineup of bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motion was shattered by the tragic death of LaFaro in a car crash. A sense of history and a feeling of renewal inform these 1980 sessions, and they illustrates the serious chemistry between Evans and his young accompanists. As pianist and friend Hank Danko recalls in his liner-notes essay, “When the trio lit into its ensemble passages, the impact was not unlike that of a roaring big band.

  • Jazz at the Crossroads)
    MUSIC 127A: 1959 (Jazz at the Crossroads) Professor Anthony Davis Rather than present a chronological account of the development of Jazz, this course will focus on the year 1959 in Jazz, a year of profound change in the music and in our society. In 1959, Jazz is at a crossroads with musicians searching for new directions after the innovations of the late 1940s’ Bebop. Musical figures such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane begin to forge a new direction in music building on their previous success earlier in the fifties. The recording Kind of Blue debuts in 1959 documenting the work of Miles Davis’ legendary sextet with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb and reflects a new direction in the music with the introduction of a modal approach to composition and improvisation. John Coltrane records Giant Steps the culmination of the harmonic intricacies of Bebop and at the same time the beginning of something new. Ornette Coleman arrives in New York and records The Shape of Jazz to Come, an LP that presents a radical departure from the orthodoxies of Be-Bop. Dave Brubeck records Time Out, a record featuring a new approach to rhythmic structure in the music. Charles Mingus records Mingus Ah Um, establishing Mingus as a pre-eminent composer in Jazz. Bill Evans forms his trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian transforming the interaction and function of the rhythm section. The quiet revolution in music reflects a world that is profoundly changed. The movement for Civil Rights has begun. The Birmingham boycott and the Supreme Court decision Brown vs.
