Bill Evans

Jazz legend. Evans is universally acknowledged as the most influential modern jazz pianist since Bud Powell. He suffered many family problems and upheavals in his personal life (due to bouts with a narcotics addiction).Though he insisted on working until he finally had to cancel midweek during an engagement in New York, Evans' health was deteriorating, and he was finally admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital on September 15, 1980, where he died a few hours later from a bleeding ulcer, cirrhosis of the liver and bronchial pneumonia. Art Farmer's Modern Art album signed on the front cover in blue ballpoint, 'Bill Evans '78.' In fine condition, with some light cover wear. The record is included. RRAuction COA.
