Bill Evans Does MASH


The wonder of jazz has always been its ability to 'perfect' popular tunes. Like the elevation of "Someday My Prince Will Come" or "My Favorite Things," Evans, like the best jazz masters, is not averse to using popular material and integrating it creatively in a jazz idiom. Apparently Evans was a big fan of the TV show, too. Anyway, Elliot Zigmund's drumming is masterful as the song shifts between keys while Eddie Gomez keeps things going forward.
