The Bill Evans Trio – Volume 1 (1959-1961) - Famous Trio Transcriptions

All jazz bassists are, or should be, familiar with the great Bill Evans Trio. Their improvisational innovations of interplay are still among the most elite (say that 5 times fast with your hands behind your back). This book contains transcriptions of what I call "The First Great Bill Evans Trio", including Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, and Paul Motian. With these note-for-note transcriptions, we can dissect and learn all we love from this great trio and observe their approach to these beautiful tunes.

From the publisher:

Note-for-note piano, bass and drum transcriptions of eight great tunes performed by the formidable trio of Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian.
