Bill Evans Collection for Solo Guitar

PDF | 1.6 MB Arranged by Greg Stone, capturing Bill Evan's unique close-voiced jazz piano chord voicings on the guitar. As a Jazz guitar player I was looking for classic Bill Evans arrangements transported to the guitar. Unfortunately the arrangements in this book have more in common with classical music than Jazz. The individual chords used in the book are lush, and taken individually evoke the Bill Evan's sound. The rhythms however are mostly just very simple whole-note-chord, whole-note-chord, simple run, whole-note-chord. The effect is much more classical than Jazz, which makes sense considering the author is obviously a classical player. Actually the book says "He is well versed in both classical and jazz guitar styles", but the performance captured on the CD is on a gut string and performed so stiffly it leads me to believe the author is a classical player who likes Jazz.
