PUBLICATIONS

Five books of my work on Bill Evans's music have been released at this time in the U.S.A., three of them being devoted to his own compositions, following a first book of standards.

(Special thanks to Judy Bell at TRO who gave me the opportunity to publish my transcriptions).

"C.T." for "complete transcription" , "H.O. for "head only".

Here you will find almost every original he recorde . To get leadsheets as close as possible from the way he used to play the tune, I did a lot of listening, comparing and transcribing. I think I listened to no less than twelve versions of Waltz For Debby !

Eight compositions have not been recorded by Bill Evans to my knowledge, and we know them only thanks to the lead sheets he gave to his publisher:

Bill's Belle: the first title was: "(Just A) Beginner in Love", with Lyric by Larry Coleman. CMinor Blues Chase Carnival: his longest tune, 80 measures. Catch The Wind: the first title was:"Get Yourself Another Fool" with lyric by Larry Coleman. Chromatic Tune: was probably written in 1966 It's Love It's Christmas: both words and music by Bill Evans, something rare ! Theme (What You Gave): probably written around 1978, and initially entitled: "Don't Count Your Dreams (Till They Come True). Waltz in Eb: probably written in 1966.
