Fantastic transcriptions and examples
17 May 2007
I have absolutely no idea what the first reviewer was complaining about with this book. The transcriptions are incredible and the accompanying CD was remarkably helpful. It helps not to have to go out and buy every piece of Evans music represented in the book if you don't have it already in your library of music. The musicians playing the pieces are very good. OK, the pianist does not sound exactly like Bill Evans but who would? I bought this book primarily for Peace Piece and the transcription is exact. So much so that when played on the accompanying CD it even came out to the exact same timing as on "Everybody Loves Bill Evans" where the original first appears. The slowed down examples are excellent. I suppose one could quibble that the author did not discuss each piece in depth measure by measure but I challenge anyone to find a more accurate set of transcriptions. As far as doing it yourself? Good luck!!! Of all the Evans music books out there that I have seen I would definitely rate this the best.

More than just a book of transcriptions
24 April 2004
This very well done book is not only features transcriptions of some of Evans' most influential material, it also has a great CD to go along with it. Each tune has a track with a full trio playing. And it's not the cheese midi accompanying you get with some play along books. These are real jazz musicians and sound great. Also each tune has certain sections slowed down on the recording to hear tricky parts better. And if that wasn't enough, there's also a third track of just bass and drums to play along to.
The author icludes very insightful summaries before each transcription highlighting the particular aspects of Evans' style that can be heard on the particular tune which makes this truly a "step-by-step breakdown." If you spend time and work through this book you will definitely come away with a greater technical as well as theoretical understanding of Evans' music.
A must for any jazz pianists library.
