Bill Evans
Jazz and Abstract Expressionism
Bill Evans: Jazz and Abstract Expressionism, is a book designed to explain the similarities of a music genre with its fine art counterpart. These movements occurred contemporaneously in the early to middle 20th Century. Both blossomed to keep pace intellectually with the ever-evolving fields of psychology and intellectual thought.
Using photos of the late Jazz legend, Bill Evans, as well as Jackson Pollock's paintings, this book draws similarities and gives a brief history of both Jazz and Abstract Expressionism. The book then delves into Bill's career, his time with Miles Davis, his time as a solo artist, and his tragic death.

by Truman Capote
