To this day, jazz pianists are influenced by Bill Evans by his use of impressionist harmony, interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, and his trademark rhythmically independent, singing melodic lines. Evans gained his first spotlight when joining Miles Davis‘ sextet during the time Kind of Blue was recorded. After leaving the sextet, Evans began his career as bandleader, which he finished in his last trio with Marc Johnson on bass and Joe LaBarbera on drums. This trio recorded The Brilliant in 1980, just before Evans’ passing.

The Brilliant is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent green coloured vinyl.
