Legendary composer and pianist Bill Evans teaches the viewer the meaning of
jazz, through live performance and engaging discussion. Filmed as an informal
discussion between Bill Evans and his brother Harry Evans (professor of music at
Louisiana State University), this documentary features in-depth discussion of
Evans' internal process of song interpretation, improvisation, and repertoire.
Through demonstration on the piano, Bill uses the song 'Star Eyes' to illustrate
his own conception of solo piano and how to interpret and expand upon the melody
and underlying chord structure. This is an absolute must-have for fans of Bill
Evans and jazz piano.
