An insane Bill Evans Intro for Nardis (Live In Paris 1979, Transcription)

This recording is from Bill Evans's The Paris Concert Vol. 2, recorded in November of 1979 - less than a year before his death. He plays this intro on Nardis with some insane rhythms, while staying in time and in the form the whole time. (Although he skips an A section in one of the last choruses, and I love the fact that even Bill Evans forgets an A section in the AABA form sometimes.) In some sections, the rhythms are based mostly on dotted eighth notes, but when he starts playing more freely, the rhythm becomes very hard to notate. I've tried my best to be as accurate as possible while keeping the notation legible. Recording:    • Bill Evans - Nardis (Live 1979) (Official ...   #transcription #billevans #jazzpiano
