influenced by variety of musicians; among them was Bill Evans. He was one of the most important jazz pianists, and remained to be one of the most influential musicians of post-bebop jazz, due to his prominent sound that made him recognizable to everyone. According to Bert Konowitz, “Bill Evans Sound is created by using chords in the left hand that often do not have the root of the chord on the bottom, as well as voicing chords with tone clusters” (198). Bill Evan’s sound was distinct and involved unique
evolved throughout the history of Jazz. Bill Evans, and American jazz pianist, was no different. Just as Charlie Parker had started the evolution of Bebop and influenced the subsequent generations of Jazz Artists, Bill Evans has influenced Modern Jazz and the generations of artists that followed him. Throughout his career and his works with various other artists, Bill Evans has cemented himself as one of the great influences on modern day Jazz. Bill Evans was drafted shortly after he began his

The track So What was instrumental in the introduction of chords that were often referred to as the "So What Chords". Bill Evans’ chord voicing included intricate harmonies such as elevenths and sevenths of the minor seventh chord. Each song that came from this album would have a lasting effect on the world of Jazz. Kind of Blue has continuously been considered one of the
Bill Evans was one of the white jazz musicians who were accepted as powerful innovators (Gridley 1978). Since he was a little child, he was largely interested in music and started learning various instruments. He began learning about classical music more in depth as he got into college and later came to be called the “Chopin of the modern jazz piano” (Tirro 1993). He developed his own distinctive musical style while working as a sideman with Miles Davis, and working as a bandleader of three trios
Music and literature are constantly evolving with each new release, but how ground breaking are these pieces compared to its contemporaries? Miles Davis and Jorge Luis Borges have contemplated and answered this question frequently. Rather than add on to a previous style, these two took the future of their genres into their own hands. In Davis’s “Kind of Blue” as well as Borges’s “The Garden of Forking Paths,” old ideas are completely abandoned and new, inventive styles flourish. Not only do these
Within the album, Bill Evans showcases his chord voicing, comping and graceful solo style. (Hopkins Lesson 10) Comping is the “improvisation of accompanying chords” (Hopkins Lesson 3a). Bill Evans demonstrates his style of comping and his solo style in “Flamenco Sketches”. He uses comping to connect and provided a smooth transition for each solo in Flamenco Sketches. We can also observe his chord voicing in “So What” and “Flamenco Sketches”. (Hopkins Lesson 10) Bill Evans is also known for his

(Evans 427) These characters are most commonly depicted as "artless, inadequate, naïve, and prosaic men who bumble through their official duties, sublimely unaware of their blunders, intent upon fulfilling their offices even when they are not really sure just what those offices are." (Evans 427) They are honest men as well, duteous, as "none of Shakespeare's comic policemen reveals any conscious neglect of duty." (Evans 430) In one high school production

Davis began leading his own group in 1948 as well as working with arranger Gil Evans.

ideas of the late Nineteenth century. One of Percy Shelley's boldest poems concerning a proletarian uprising is "A Song: 'Men of England,'" in which the diction and style of the piece evoked a sense of urgency and magnitude. Just as Ifor Evans claimed that Shelley had a "personality in revolt," it should also be noted that his poetry urged others to "revolt"(140). When read aloud, the poem sounds more like a fiery speech than a Romantic piece of literature. Shelley used vivid images to
