Bill Evans
Piano Solo on
Love For Sale

About

Bill Evans's piano solo is the closing of 4 solos on this recording, following John Coltrane's tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 64-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 210 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 2:30. Evans closes with two choruses of piano that balance the preceding intensity with characteristic understatement. This was recorded on Miles Davis's 32nd birthday at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City. Bill Evans was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
