Everybody Digs Bill Evans

1961. Bill Evans is playing with what he considers the perfect musical trio until tragedy strikes in the premature death of his bass player, Scott LaFaro - his musical soulmate. Traumatised by grief, Evans stops playing for the first time since his childhood. A tug-of-war between personal torment and the seemingly safer haven of familial love will see Evans oscillate between New York and suburbia, his genius always bubbling beneath the surface. EVERYBODY DIGS BILL EVANS is a biographical drama film about the famous jazz pianist and composer, written by Mark O’Halloran and based on Owen Martell's novel Intermission. Shot in a mixture of black-and-white and saturated colour, director Grant Gee presents multiple timelines to illustrate Evans’ life.
