What an ass Mehldau is. I don't know what he is playing nowadays, but his early shit was definitely influenced by Evans. And, for sure, Evans's music will outlive all our contemporaries' stuff. This is all about their ego and "legacy" that will not last. They know that. Can't do great music, but can do big-mouth talk. Marsalis is another GREAT example.
