Bill Evans was a genius – a composer and pianist with a light, lyrical touch that was once described as what you might hear at the gates of Heaven. As you’re about to hear, he is also one of most influential pianists in modern jazz. As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this show about Bill’s life and music was produced in 1997 by Beth Schenker and narrated by the series host Nancy Wilson.
The “Jazz Profiles” shows – nearly 200 of them – are part of the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection at the University of North Texas Music Library. In a partnership with Tim and UNTML, we’ve picked a handful of noteworthy shows to share with you. You can find more “Jazz Profiles” shows at the UNT Music Library’s Jazz Syndicate (www.library.unt.edu/jazzsyndicate), and learn more about 32 Bar Blues' clothing collection and commitment to the arts at 32barblues.com
