This previously unreleased Bill Evans' composition "Here's Something for You" was discovered by bassist Marc Johnson from a cassette given by Bill Evans just days before Evans' death.

This unassuming performance shows a deep love, respect and admiration to Bill Evans from two musicians, married to each other, who share an in-depth knowledge of Bill Evans' music. Both Johnson's and Elias' career have been profoundly inspired and touched by Evans.

Bassist Marc Johnson was in the last Evans trio from 1979 to 1980. Eliane Elias during her childhood was listening to her parents' jazz records in Sao Paulo, transcribing Evans solos and playing them note-for-note.

Eliane Elias wrote the heartwarming lyric indicating her personal appreciation on how Evans' influence helped shape her life. The lyric contains song titles or derivation of song titles once performed by Bill Evans.

We can listen to the tune, reflecting on the words, relishing the context while silently paying homage to those people who have made a difference to our lives and helped to make us who we are today.

Lyric:

Here is something for you

Where or when it finds you

Here is my heart, haunted, foolish

Let me find you

Find the one who brought me this love

Find the one who taught me romance

Showed the sunrise

Brought the moonlight

Touch of those hands

They led me to this way of living

Hear the sunrise, singing songs now

Telling stories, which is yours now

On a life reflected, time remembered

When the autumn leaves may fall

Here's the sound that we recall

From the pages of my heart to you

Wonderful! So close spiritually to Bill's "The Opener". There ARE musicians who keep Bill's fire alive. And it is so fortunate that these are just Elian and Marc. God bless them both for their art.

@Ron239: It's interesting that you say that because although I see Marc's hands moving I can't hear the bass even faintly. Is there no recording mic on him?

@churchst1 Bill apparently never recorded this in a studio, nor did he write it down. He gave a self-made cassette tape of it to Marc Johnson, Eliane's bassist and husband (and Bill's last bassist), just before Bill's death. Maybe if we ask Marc very, very nicely ... Beautiful performance my Eliane and Marc and beautiful lyrics by Eliane. Thanks.

She's fabulous. I saw her perform at a local jazz club a few years ago. It was a very small intimate environment so I got to watch her up close. Amazing player & very sweet lady !
