My Foolish HeartBill Evans6rank/position

When it comes to jazz piano, this is the man—Bill Evans, who enjoys great popularity in Japan as well.

Among his works, “My Foolish Heart,” included on the celebrated album Waltz for Debby, is originally the theme song from a film of the same name, but many people probably think first of Bill Evans’s rendition.

His piano tone, as if weaving a story, is something you can listen to forever.

Tony Bennett, a popular music singer who was active from the 1950s to the 1960s, was so highly regarded that Frank Sinatra called him “the best singer in the world.” Even during the heyday of rock, his steady vocals kept him in the spotlight among many listeners.

A collaboration he did with the world-renowned jazz pianist Bill Evans is the work You Must Believe in Spring.

Santa Claus Is Coming to TownBill Evans8rank/position

“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” a piano arrangement by jazz master Bill Evans.

It’s the familiar holiday classic, but the quiet, sprightly piano phrases will set the mood for a sophisticated, adult Christmas.

There are many jazz covers of this tune, but Bill Evans’s arrangement is particularly outstanding.

SoirèeBill Evans9rank/position

As an American jazz pianist, his performances, packed with classical and standard musical elements, have influenced many people.

Amid the stylish jazz, there’s also a somewhat melancholic impression.

I think it’s perfect for relaxing—listening alone at night in your room while having a drink.

Bill Evans – Spartacus Love Theme – Nardis
Spartacs Love Theme-NardisBill Evans

It’s the theme song from the film Spartacus, and many artists have covered it.

This is Bill Evans performing it in a solo setting.

I feel the way he handles the rhythm is almost divine.

He also played it on What’s New in ’68, which is a collaboration with the uniquely individual flutist Jeremy Steig.

It’s striking how Evans leaves a quiet, shadow-like resonance in response to Steig’s fiery playing.
