William John Evans, better known as Bill Evans, was an American jazz pianist, composer, and artist. Born on August 16, 1929 in Plainfield, New Jersey, he became one of the most famous and influential jazz pianists of the 20th century. With his innovative use of impressionist harmony and unique interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, Evans left a lasting impact on generations of musicians.

Evans' distinct style was characterized by his rhythmically independent and "singing" melodic lines. His contributions to the world of jazz music were unparalleled. Throughout his career, he showcased his immense talent as a composer and performer.

Tragically, Bill Evans passed away on September 15, 1980 in New York City at the age of 51. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and continued influence on contemporary keyboardists and jazz saxophonists.

5CD set with comprehensive 20-page booklet of all of the recorded output by the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian Trio, both live and in the studio.Widely regarded as Evan's finest and most important trio, largely because of the symbiotic interplay between its members and the influence it displayed among all of the modern jazz piano trios that followed. The Penguin Guide to Jazz: "This is music which continues to provoke marvel and endless study." (Richard Cook & Brian Morton). Presented here in a single set are the recordings by the Bill Evans Trio with Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums, including their studio sessions, their exciting 1960 Birdland broadcasts, and their immortal live sets at New York's Village Vanguard. Bill Evans (piano), Scott LaFaro (bass), Paul Motian (drums)
