clxxiii. EVANS, Bill (1929-1980)
I Wish I Knew (1961)
BE, piano

from Explorations.
This Warren/Gordon tune comes from the 1945 film Diamond Horseshoe (starring Betty Grable).
Evans deconstructs the tune to the point of unrecognizability (check out Chet Baker singing it or Coltrane playing it!) ...

Musical empathy. That's what made this trio special -- you can almost hear them listening to each other ...
LaFaro and Evans argued during these sessions and when Scott died in a car accident a few months later, Evans was devastated.
