Sinister: Bill Evans/breaking the bank
Another recent arrival from the nursery here, and hearing someone mention Bill Evans gives me a prod into a tentative first post, missing any signs of cleverness unfortunately, but maybe I'll work up to that later: PJMiller said:'" Bill's album is a corker - "Bill Evans, From Left to Right: Playing the Fender-Rhodes Electric Piano and the Steinway Piano" It features two fantastic versions of "What Are You Doing With the Rest of Your Life? North and South and East and West of Your Life?", one of the most beautiful songs of all time,.......That Bill Evans LP I mentioned also has a fantastic cover photo of Bill playing two pianos at once with a heavily ash-ladenn fag hanging out of his mouth. Wow! It's a CD, but I say LP to sound groovy." I like Bill Evans too, and I guess he liked Michel Legrand, who wrote "what are you doing the rest of your life." On his record (I say record coz i bought it on vinyl in a record store up the road...) "I will say goodbye" he does 2 excellent versions of the title song --also by Michel Legrand, along with a nice version of Dolphin Dance by Herbie Hancock, and a Bacharach tune and a Mandel tune. It just has a picture of a road on the cover, which isn't so terribly exciting, but there's a little inset photo of him and his trio-- and he's looking very 1977, as in---Shave off that beard bill! He was very clean cut in the 60s, according to his album photos, but boy, those 70s! His album photos do get a little scary. OK so, B&S stuff. My friend Gerry and I went all the way from SF to Bowlie, because we were worried that B&S would never come here. We had a fab time. We're very happy Looper is coming to SF in July. Will Oldham is playing the same venue the next night. We'd get a kick out of going to Bowlie 2, (esp if Felt appears!), but are worried our credit cards would melt--especially since we've already almost melted them so that we could go to Paris this summer (too soon after Bowlie 1 to have paid anything off...), and are tempted to take the train to London to see Marc Almond while we are there( what do you think?). Anyway, it's a real kick hanging out with you folks.
