Here’s another pianist who, like Evans, is the kind of player that lets, even requires, the listener to “lean into” his playing with less overt emphasis on rhythm (in the usual sense) and more on harmonic interest. Skillful and creative use of harmony to give clarity to what is referred to the “harmonic rhythm” of a tune (any music) can create a more subtle sense of forward movement or of “going somewhere”.
