I'm not Bill Evans. I'm not Keith Jarrett. I'm basically a singer who plays along with his voice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't need to hear Bill to go through a song. I need to hear Keith to go through a song. I know Bill will be playing what I'm playing anyway. I need to hear Keith because it's all there: the time, the chord changes, and all the licks you have to follow.
Bill Evans is a real serious jazz pianist who, in my book, crossed over boundaries in terms of color. He used the piano as his canvas.

Not only do I sing to him, I sing entire conversations. You become Jerry Lewis.
