As a classical pianist getting into the jazz side of performing, I really relate to Evans’ approach and journey into jazz since he started as a classical pianist too. Love his more theoretical and cerebral approach to jazz harmony and voicings as well as extensions. My other favourite jazz pianist is McCoy Tyner, but every jazz pianist has their own style that makes it simply unfair to compare quality-wise. Oscar Peterson was on another level of virtuosity.
