Sure
there were people (dating back to Fats Waller) playing in the piano
trio format, but Bill raised the level by making it a trio of equals,
each with their own voice. His harmonic creativity is still unparralleled.
Probably
best known for playing and writing some of the songs on Miles Davis'
"Kind Of Blue" album (though Miles never gave Evans a writing credit),
Bill Evans did a European tour with a trio in 1965. There is some debate
as to who his rhythm section was on this recording, but most likely the
drummer is Alan Dawson, and the bassist is Niels-Henning Ørsted
Pedersen
Please enjoy this beautiful ballad, "Detour Ahead", written by Herb Ellis, Johnny Frigo, and Lou Carter
