Musicians Institute instructor Sid Jacobs, who organized the school's Jazz Guitar elective, translates the playing of quintessential jazz pianist Bill Evans for guitarists to enjoy. Includes music, instruction and analysis of 14 Evans' pieces, all in their original keys and with full demonstration tracks on the accompaniment CD. Songs include: Funkallero · Laurie · Letter to Evan · My Bells · Orbit · Peace Piece · Peri's Scope · Remembering the Rain · A Simple Matter of Conviction · Time Remembered · Turn Out the Stars · The Two Lonely People · Very Early · Waltz for Debby. Sid's marvelous transcriptions of Bill Evans' tunes for solo guitar have just raised the guitar to a new level. This is contemporary guitar at its harmonic best. - Joe Diorio
