"THE HARMONY OF BILL EVANS- VOL. 2" Book / CD package
by Jack Reilly - is now available!

Hal Leonard, Inc, (the world's largest music publisher) has just released the new book "THE HARMONY OF BILL EVANS VOL. 2" by master pianist -composer Jack Reilly (with Foreward by pianist Jan Stevens of the Bill Evans Webpages site). Bill Evans died in 1980 but the compositional legacy he left behind is forever expanding. This expansive study shows how and why.

In Jack Reilly's second volume, he provides a deeper appreciation and understanding of Evans' compositions. This book and CD package (only $29.99 USD) includes two important theory chapters (which stand out on their own merits, brilliantly) , plus ten of Evans’ most passionate and melodically gorgeous works. The voicing charts for all ten songs are more complex than in volume one and pianistically more demanding, yet always worth the effort. The subjects of modulation and key relationships that are discussed in each chapter will help the player memorize faster and improvise with more facility; not an easy task when performing Evans' music.

The "Lament for Bill" in chapter 13 is the author's tribute to the genius of this great artist.

The accompanying CD will add to the enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation of the written examples. This a powerhouse book that will a prove to be a deep and indispensible experience for pianists of all stylistic persuasions as well as serious Evans fans. There is much to learn and enjoy here!

Songs include: Your Story • Laurie • For Nenette • My Bells • Maxine • Song for Helen • Turn Out the Stars • Very Early • Waltz for Debby • and more!

Jack Reilly's new double CD, INNOCENCE: GREEN SPRING SUITE was composed during his stay for treatment of cancer at the Johns Hopkins Radiation Oncology Clinic at Greenspring in Maryland. He was given only a third of a chance of surviving. This music, prayer and science healed him.

This is Jack's story in music.

Since its conception in Fall of 2002, the GREEN SPRING SUITE has taken on a life of its own! It has been performed twice at the Weinberg Kimmell Cancer Center, Baltimore, at the "Art of Healing" concert series and in the United Kingdom, where this recording was made Live in concert, at London's famed St. Cyprian's Church.

"This recording consists of two discs and 14 compositions. This suite is a true representation of jazz performed in a 'classical' style that is Reilly's alone. The listener with a discerning ear will find this album a bountiful expression of joy, sadness and recovery in the truest sense."

"This is a continually delightful, engaging and rewarding two-disc program. With Jack Reilly's music, there's never a sense of repetition or anticlimax. He's one of the few musicians about whom it can safely be said that more is more."
