The great jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans died tragically on September 15, 1980, but his notes and his magic remain absolutely alive. His immortality is celebrated today by the Puerto Rican double bassist Eddie Gomez, who played with Evans for eleven years from '66 to '77, and by the American drummer Joe LaBarbera, who recorded no less than 16 albums with the legendary pianist and composer in the last years of his life.

Dado Moroni
Together with the Italian star pianist Dado Moroni, they form Kind of Bill, a trio that is more than just a tribute band, but brings Evans' musical soul back to life through his pieces as well as his own compositions. As a pianist who still learned jazz in the "oldschool", that is, self-taught, he played with Italian jazz greats at a young age and made his first studio recordings as well.
From 1979 he made the leap into the international jazz elite, playing with legends such as Chet Baker and Johnny Griffin. He was a member of the James Moody Quartet, played with Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard, Zoot Sims, Lewis Nash, Lee Konitz and more, and recorded albums with Jimmy Cobb, Ron Carter and Enrico Pieranunzi, among others. After years in the United States, he lives and works again in his native Italy.
