EVERYBODY DIGS BILL EVANS

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. 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 Diggs 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. Directed by Grant Gee and featuring standout performances from Anders Danielsen Lie (Bill Evans), Bill Pullman (Harry Evans Senior), and Laurie Metcalf (Mary Evans). Q&A with actor Bill Pullman and Executive Producers Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa following the screening.
