I finally got around to transcribing a Bill Evans solo. The man is a genius. This is his take on the great standard "Invitation" by Bronislau Kaper from his beautiful album with Eddie Gomez "Intutition". He adds an 4 bar extension at the end of every chorus (including the melody) to bring it back to C minor more smoothly.
The main thing I got out of this solo, aside from his great swing and incredible lines, is his use of a bII chord on a dominant chord (G7 = G#-7). This gives the chord a darker sound, the main tones now being b9 - 3 - b13. He does this a lot in this solo, check most II-V-Is and you'll probably find it. Enjoy!
