Bill

"Music should enrich the soul; it should teach spirituality by showing a person a portion of himself that he would not discover otherwise.

It's easy to rediscover part of yourself, but through art you can be shown part of yourself you never knew existed. That's the real mission of art.

The artist has to find something within himself that's universal and which he can put into terms that are communicable to other people.

The magic of it is that art can communicate to a person without his realizing it... enrichment, that's the function of music."

These are words of Bill Evans. He is one of the few people I truly look up to. He´s long gone, of course, but all these great souls from the past are present, right now. I engage in conversation with them, I draw inspiration from them, sometimes I´ll even let them lead the way.

Bill is definitely one of those. What a troubled soul he was. It seems so unfair, that someone responsible for handing us so much beauty had to suffer in the way he did. Terrible.

I hope his words inspire you as much as they inspire me.

I have a jazz playlist as well, Bill is featured there. Today I featured the top 4 tracks by him, they´re among my favorite. Check it out here.

Have a great day,

Claudio.
