Bill Charlap Plays "Goodbye Mr. Evans"

[@HJKelley47]

Started listening to Bill Evans in my late teens. Now 73, I am still a diehard Evans fans. To hear Bill Charlap honor Evans is a special treat during this time of being at homebound.

[@MikeCogley]

I became a disciple of Bill Evans in 1960. I'm 78 now. I listened almost exclusively to Evans until I discovered Bill Charlap about 15 years ago. I believe that he is the best jazz pianist currently on the planet.

[@darioraulrey6698]

Great music !!!! Charlap plays superb as always

[@edwardmallon8679]

What idiot would give this a thumbs down? Some people have no taste or appreciation for genius and talent. They should go back to Lawrence Welk or country western. This is a tribute to a genius who sadly is no longer with us.

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Yes, as James Taylor sang, What'cha gonna do with folks like that?

[@Lottiemoon100]

You said it so I didn't have to. Grrrrrrrrrr. As they say, there's no accounting for taste!

[@gladstone6338]

I have been a fan of Bill Charlap for sometime; amazing technique and phrasing. That he played with Phil Woods, the composer of this tune, and Gerry Mulligan attests to his great skill and taste.

A non-jazz lover!

Only someone who doesn't like jazz

[@Robert-ts2ef]

A gorgeous arrangement and interpretation by a skilled musician.

[@nedrodgers9912]

This is the most sensitive treatment of Goodbye Mr. Evans I've ever heard. You can hear the Bill Evans tributes in his playing. Bill Evans would love it.

[@Beyondabsence]

What a beautiful composition and rendition. It's pure Bill Evans world!!!

[@MrRickywallace]

Thanks, Bill for the homage to Bill, my favorite pianist!

[@faustoemiliocorrea347]

I love this song and Mr. Bill Evans and Bill Charlap...my soul is crying...

[@velchuck]

Magnificent. So sensitive, so tender. Just like Bill❤️

[@novicetech1]

The perfect tribute. Thank you.

[@rr7firefly]

My first great discovery of 2019. First encounter with Bill Charlap, Scott Colley and Dennis Mackrel. First time hearing this song. It is amazing to me that this is from an album (Souvenir) released in 1995. 24 years and counting. I should have discovered Bill many years ago.

[@Tina-qp7py]

I just discovered him too. He is well known in New York. I was looking for an instrumental version of Pure Imagination and his is the best!

[@charlesbarry6730]

A tribute from Bil to Bill. Great music.

[@markwilliams3174]

Wow incredible Right Hand melodic touch

[@edwardmallon8679]

Melancholy but achingly beautiful as befits a genius taken from us too soon. R I P mr Evans.

[@nedrodgers9912]

Bill Evans would love it.

[@marciacuesta8887]

I discovered Bill Charlap on Pandora radio while listening to a Shirley Horn station. I perked my head up and *had* to find out who was playing the piano with such clarity, feeling , and sensitivity. Bill Charlap is a genius! I wish the world knew more about him.

[@Tina-qp7py]

I love Shirley Horn because she is a minimalist. She sings as she plays and is more of a storyteller than other pianists. I saw her in person and I will never forget her wonderful performance.

[@edwardmallon8679]

A warm and loving tribute to a giant of jazz and a whole generation. A masterpiece

[@paxwallacejazz]

More than any other medium I can think of the modern jazz ballad creates the space of reverie of thoughtful repose of dimensional introspection of the encapsulation of what's worth a damn about this life we blunder through with our big clown shoes taking ourselves too seriously. Namaste

[@waskyper8]

I So agree w/ you!

[@stuartdryer1352]

So good. So good.

[@nellysch1]

Día lluvioso.... Bill Charlap me transporta a los mejores momentos!!!

[@desperatetimes5873]

Lovely! Scott is wonderful with Charlap. Scott Colley is a wonderful bassist.

[@genevievecarlier3294]

A Jewel ..!!

[@edwardmallon8679]

superb!!

[@renepythoud1565]

calme comme comme un paysage en paix au printemps

[@paxwallacejazz]

Boy I would like to have a dinner at Mr. Churlaps' and Reneè Rossnes's place. I could interest one of them in one of my compositions. So much talent under one roof.

[@raffaelevalentini9498]

@@stephenbaird8957 Cannot be seenor read. Google Books is not a good source for such things because type font is impossible to read and cannot be copied. Another source perhaps????

[@ikotsk]

I looooove Bill Charlap.! But tin this recording, I wish Dennis Mackrel does less of the brushing ..... It's a bit annoying...
