Question: Hey chat gpt, ifd I focus on only one exercise to learn Bill Evans techniques better what do you suggest?
Answer: If one focuses on one exercise to learn Bill Evans’s piano technique, I recommend practicing rootless voicings in ii-V-I progressions. This encapsulates many of Evans’s harmonic approaches and voice leading techniques.
Left Hand Focus: Play these voicings in the left hand while practicing simple melodies or scales in the right hand to develop independence and harmonic understanding. This exercise helps internalize Evans’s use of sophisticated harmonies and smooth voice leading, foundational elements of his style.
