1.) Bill Evans (born William John Evans; August 16, 1929 - September 15, 1980) was one of the most famous jazz pianists of the 20th century. Along with McCoy Tyner and Oscar Peterson, he was the force behind the biggest evolution in the jazz paradigm since Art Tatum and Bud Powell.
He worked briefly with Miles Davis and was the pianist on all but one track of Kind of Blue (1959). In fact, although
Evans won seven Grammys during his career, the first for Conversations With Myself (1963) although not for his most celebrated work, Sunday At The Village Vanguard (1961) with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian.
His use of impressionistic harmony, his inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, and his syncopated and polyrhythmic melodic lines influenced a generation of pianists, including Herbie Hancock, Denny Zeitlin, Chick Corea, and Keith Jarrett, and his work continues to inspire younger pianists such as Fred Hersch, Bill Charlap, and Lyle Mays, as well as other musicians such as guitarist John McLaughlin.
