Excerpts from the liner notes of "Re: Bill Evans" -

...Bill Evans' piano style on guitar...the guitar is capable of far fewer notes than the piano in a given voicing...resulting in a minimalistic sound that still retains the overall intent and character of the original...

...the defining element of Evans¡¦style was the wonderful combination of rhythmic flexibility and swing which was heard in his own playing, and was an integral part of his trios...these musicians are familiar with the Evans tradition, while maintaining their own individuality...

...Evans showed his influences from the Romantic and Impressionistic schools of classical music with this piece, (Re Person I Knew) which consists entirely of a C pedal with a variety of shifting harmonies above...

...Time Remembered - Another Evans original, influenced by Impressionism (Debussy and Ravel)...doesn't have a single dominant/tonic (five-one) harmonic cadence...the listener gets a feeling of floating from one tonality to the next - which also poses a unique challenge for the improvisor...
