So I think it's great that people are just rediscovering Bill Evans, and I want people to rediscover Bill Evans. I think he's a great artist, and I think more people should listen to him and respect the beauty that he was able to create.

Waltz for Debby has had the most impact on me , but there are so many of his works/performances that became markers in my life and continue to make me grateful he wrote/played them. I am glad our digital world let's others discover the impact of his music.

I'm essentially musically illiterate. Just now learned of Bill Evans, from some peripheral reading and have spent the last hour or more, reading up on him. This was one of his early compositions. It turns out I like jazz, though I cannot name more than one or two pieces or a very small number of musicians.

I think a waltz can also describe a feeling though. A waltz is traditionally associated with a happy feeling, so perhaps "waltz for Debby" is simply pointing toward that sort of idea, and not insistent on being a legit waltz in terms of time feel. I guess what I'm trying to describe is similar to how people say "let's rock and roll" even when they are not about to play rock music, or even music at all. Phrases evoke feelings.

From my wife and I meeting Bill several times we thought of him as a friend, and to me, my knowing, there is a God. I was a Viet Era draftee, and VW Beetled 4 hours from my Germany posting to Basel 1989 to meet him. Huge venue, yet my wife and I were the only 2 in the 1500 capacity hall. We met the group outside , where Bill shared that he played piccolo in the US Great Lakes marching band, and he would after hours train to Chicago jam

Miles was not on the program for Newport that year. He was added, at his request, at the last minute. The organizers had him play with this quintet, which WAS billed. So, it wasn’t really the Miles Davis Sextet, but they called it that when the recording was issued. Miles played with many pianists, but to hear Monk comping behind the solos on his own composition, then soloing beautifully himself and blending back in seamlessly behind the others when they play the head at the end…fabulous!
