![]() The career of Bill Evans (1929-1980) had an unusual curve. If you have limited time or patience or interest, I urge you to skip down to the last section, The Nardis Legacy, where I describe ‘Nardis’ as played during the final months of his life by ‘The Last Trio’. It describes the arc of Bill Evans’ career and the remarkable creative outpouring during the final year of his life, focusing on a piece which accompanied him during those twenty years and then exploded into his signature confrontation with his impending death. This posting is longer and more detailed than usual. You might well not know this music, so I’m both proud and humbled to be the vessel of this musical offering, because it’s among the most sublime and moving artistic creations I’ve encountered. It’s a song he played from its very first recording in 1959 through virtually his very last breath in September, 1980. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the raison d’etre for this blog.
