Everybody Digs Bill Evans

Grant Gee
RELEASE Thu 24 Dec

New York, 1961. After a series of legendary recordings, jazz pianist Bill Evans is struck by the loss of his musical soulmate, causing him to stop playing the piano. Everybody Digs Bill Evans follows a journey through grief, as Evans learns that silence is sometimes part of the music too.

In the summer of 1961, jazz pianist Bill Evans is at the peak of his career. A series of performances leads to the live recordings of no fewer than two legendary jazz albums, all captured in a single day: Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby. Shortly afterwards, he loses his bassist and musical soulmate in a tragic accident. Paralyzed by grief, Evans stops playing piano for the first time since childhood. Everybody Digs Bill Evans shows the inner life and personal struggles of an influential but troubled musical genius who learns that sometimes silence can be part of the music.
