----------
At the height of his career, legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans’ bassist and musical soulmate dies tragically in a car crash. This is the story of what came next for one of the most influential figures in 20th century music.
June 1961, New York. Legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans has found his musical voice and created the perfect trio, including bass player Scott LaFaro, his musical soulmate. A residency at New York’s Village Vanguard culminates in the live taping of two of the greatest jazz records of all time in one day.
Days later, LaFaro dies tragically in a car crash. Numb with grief, Evans stops playing for the first time since childhood. This is the story of what happened next for one of the most influential and gifted figures in 20th century music.
Cutting between Bill’s present and future, his sobriety and intoxication, and his relationships with his family and on again/off again girlfriend, who shares his taste in music and hard drugs, EVERYBODY DIGS BILL EVANS portrays the inner life and personal impact of a troubled musical genius as he struggles to learn that sometimes an intermission is part of the music.
