Bill Evans 4: Piano Solo (Richmond Music ¯ Folios) (Richmond Music ¯ Folios) [Paperback] Review

This is a superb volume of Bill Evans transcriptions. These are very accurate and therefore difficult to read and play. Only four tunes are in the book which is only 36 pages long.

The tunes are:
One For Helen
Time Remembered
Turn Out The Stars
Waltz For Debby

The albums that the transcriptions are taken from are supplied so you can buy and hear Bill Evans original performance. My favourite is the stunning version of Waltz for Debby (from 'The Bill Evans Album'). On this version Evans states the tune on accoustic Piano and later on plays solos on electric and then accoustic Pianos (not that you can tell this from the sheet music)!

You also need to bare in mind that Evans mostly recorded with a Trio so once the solo starts the left hand part tends to be the classic comping left hand which unless played very well sounds a bit empty without a bass player.
