BILL EVANS TRIO WITH WARNE MARSH
San Francisco 1977 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA; March 5, 1977. Very good audience recording.

Thanks to ggln for sharing the show at Dime.

Bill Evans’s 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. In 1963, Evans recorded Conversations with Myself, a solo album using the unconventional technique of overdubbing over himself. He passed away in 1980. He was 51.
