    RIP Mr. Evans. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us. Your musical legacy will stand forever.

    Peace,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

  • all the superlatives really do apply to Mr. Evans...a master bassist who transcended his instrument to become one of the greatest arrangers and producers of all time. i consider a lot of those cadet sessions, like soulful strings, to simply be richard evans albums.
