Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Bill Evans" in English language version.
While both were peerless masters of their instruments and shared a rich, evocatively lyrical playing style that bordered beguilingly on the introspective, Baker and Evans were polar opposites when it came to the discipline of performance. Though both were heroin addicts, the musically-trained Evans never let it interfere with his meticulously precise flights of invention while the self-taught Baker became increasingly erratic and inconsistent.
It is named for jazz pianist Bill Evans, who graduated from North Plainfield High School in 1946.
