    28 year on. still alive Martin?. Bill Evans INTENTIONAL, much worked on, what does he call it " displacement" (the meaning of which is to change from the the usual or PROPER place. oh yeah, let's do this rhythm Improperly, shall we, Bill? ) odd
    phrasing leaves me usually feeling

    Count me in. Evans bores me to tears. I always remember what Gary Peacock is alleged to have said when he jumped from Evans' band to Albert Ayler's trio: "I'm tired of playing wedding music..."
    Apart from Evans' playing on "Kind of Blue," I've never heard him play anything
    that didn't put me to sleep. And I'm always amused when people put Evans and Paul Bley into the same bag. Please. I could listen to Bley all day long, but Evans... Aargh!
