Bill Evans cytaty

William John „Bill” Evans – amerykański muzyk, jeden z najwybitniejszych pianistów jazzowych. Poprzez używanie impresjonistycznych harmonii, nowatorskie interpretacje standardów jazzowych i „śpiewające”, niezależne rytmiczne linie melodyczne wpłynął na kolejne pokolenie pianistów, takich jak m.in.: Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John Taylor, Steve Kuhn, Don Friedman, Marian McPartland, Denny Zeitlin, Bobo Stenson, Michel Petrucciani i Keith Jarrett, jak również wielu innych muzyków na świecie. Muzyka Billa Evansa inspirowała także takich pianistów jak Fred Hersch, Bill Charlap, Lyle Mays, Eliane Elias i prawdopodobnie Brad Mehldau, na wczesnym etapie kariery. Przez niektórych jest uważany za najbardziej wpływowego pianistę po II wojnie światowej.

Bill Evans: Cytaty po angielsku

“[Bill Evans talking about Miles Davis's change of style to jazz fusion] I would like to hear more of the consummate melodic master, but I feel that big business and his record company have had a corrupting influence on his material. The rock and pop thing certainly draws a wider audience. It happens more and more these days, that unqualified people with executive positions try to tell musicians what is good and what is bad music. It’s tempting for the musician to prejudice his own views when recording opportunities are so infrequent but I for one am determined to resist the temptation.”

“I went through a lot of mental pains and anguish about choosing between jazz and classical. I realized that where I functioned was where I should be, and where I functioned was in jazz, so that was it.”

“Music should enrich the soul; it should teach spirituality by showing a person a portion of himself that he would not discover otherwise. It's easy to rediscover part of yourself, but through art you can be shown part of yourself you never knew existed. That's the real mission of art. The artist has to find something within himself that's universal and which he can put into terms that are communicable to other people. The magic of it is that art can communicate to a person without his realizing it… enrichment, that's the function of music.”

“As the painter needs his framework of parchment, the improvising musical group needs its framework in time.”

Kind of blue liner notes.

“I always like people who have developed long and hard, particularly through introspection and a lot of dedication. I think that what they arrive at is usually…deeper and more beautiful…than the person who seems to have that ability and fluidity from the beginning. I say this because it's a good message to give to young talents who feel as I used to. You hear musicians playing with great fluidity and complete conception early on, and you don't have that ability. I didn't. I had to know what I was doing. And ultimately it turned out that these people weren't able to carry their thing very far. I found myself being more attracted to artists who have developed through the years and become better and deeper musicians. I believe in things that are developed through hard work.”
