Bill Evans Trio - Come Rain Or Come Shine

caponsacchi

Why does an Oscar Peterson or George Shearing--playing the same notes, chords and voicings--sound merely glossy and "surfacy" compared to Bill? Why does Keith, apparently trying to equal if not upstage Bill (esp. with tunes like "All of You" or "I Loves You Porgy") sound strained, out-matched, overachieving--regardless of the moaning and groaning superimposed upon the notes? Bill had the ability to take this cumbersome percussive instrument and make it sound like a personal voicie coming from deep within his being. Even on the slowest ballads--minus all of the fills and ornamentation of a Tatum or Peterson--Bill makes the music sound vibrant and alive (a couple of Evans' influenced pianists have perhaps approached Bill--namely, the late Dave Catney and, surprisingly, Mike Renzi, especially since he, like Bill, was called upon to accompany Tony Bennett). Still it's questionable if anyone has achieved Bill's degree of focus and concentration--his abilty to instantaneously strip a piece of everything that isn't necessary and to bring into lumimous focus the bare essentials of a beautiful Arlen ballad. And always there's the undeniable physical constitution of Bill--a perfect mechanical specimen, practically made to play the piano--broad and powerful shoulders, heavy hands and thick but dead-accurate fingers. Madame Chaloff would instruct all of the major jazz pianists--including Herbie, Chick, Keith--who to coax the fullest, roundest, most expressive and satisfying tones from a piano. The power must come from the shoulders in combination with the dead weight of the arms and the "equal centeredness" of all 10 digits. I'll see pianists "elbowing" a piano or "karate-chopping" the keys in an effort to be heard above the other instruments. You can't play the instrument properly by standing up. Singing while playing won't make the piano sing. Piano "pounding" is for amateurs or Jerry Lee Lewises. Like most artists of genius, Bill makes it effortless and at the same time powerful--perhaps because he doesn't try to "take" from any piano more than it has to "give." And when you see Bill's head bowed over the keys, you're witnessing a religious, theological transaction between Bill the player and his creative muse. He's making his offering: the rest is up to a grace stemming from a higher, holy source.

Hey, any way you could share the transcription? I haven't found any transcriptions off this album but I'd love to see some.

This song has always been very evocative of rain to me. I noticed just now that Motian's brushwork and use of "sizzlers" on the ride cymbal mimic the sound of a soft and steady rain heard through a window...

@ irakey - I was recently given a transcription of it. Mindblowing. ...Rick Helzer. This version is Bill Evans being extremely sensitive and witty - working the title with light and shade Come Rain or Shine - perfect.

Yes, it does sound radically different from that of chuck playing it. I think Bill sound more mature and even refined with chuck. With scotty Bill swings more and with chuck, Bill does come out more with something truly magical stuff. But only Scotty can play Gloria's step.

irakey

this is the best rendition of c r or shine.Bill never played this tune the same way..the one with chuck sounds different. i guess it has something to do with rest of the guys...Anyway i tried to transcribe some of it...can't.Bill simply moves his chord or harmony if you will his own way..the best thing you can do is to get the concept,,.than do your own thing
