THE BILL EVANS MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Our good friend Brian Hennessey, an Evans scholar,
was a close friend of Bill's from England, and is written about
in Pettinger's Evans biography. His site has an extensive listing
of materials in the phenomenal library he maintains -- interviews,
recordings and so much more.

BILL
EVANS -TIME REMEMBERED
A nice tribute site with a formidable bio done by a European cardiologist--a
serious Evans fan from The Netherlands (!), with many Evans links
of interest, artwork, pics, and some MIDI files. And it's all just
been redesigned, with album covers listed by each record label,
info on both Helen Keane and Gene Lees, sidemen pics and bios, and
clever Piano Timelines, Evans, Jazz and Classical links and much
more. . It is very impressive, so check it out!

DVD
or VIDEO:
"THE UNIVERSAL MIND OF BILL EVANS"
One incredible video or DVD (from 1966, featuring
Bill playing "Star Eyes", "Very Early", "Time
Remembered". etc.) with the pianist conversing with his brother, Harry Evans about jazz and classical music, teaching, approaches
to learning jazz, and more . A landmark presentation that also briefly
features Steve Allen.

THE BILL EVANS ORGANIZATION
The official site only has forums now -- a lot of feedback from
Evans fans, news and discussions --but they are always interesting
to check out --moderated by Bill's' son, film composer Evan Evans. |
