Bill Evans was born in Plainfield, Union County, in 1929. He is generally perceived as being the most influential piano player of the 1960s, as his brilliant use of impressionist harmony, block chording and innovative rhythmic complexity directly influenced Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and all who followed. Now pianist Michael Wolff, drummer Mike Clark and bassist Leon Lee Dorsey—known collectively as Wolff Clark Dorsey—have written ‘A Letter To Bill Evans,’ released on the Jazz Avenue 1 label.
