Bill Evans has collaborated with Tiki Parlour Recordings to create a DVD and CD set based on Bill’s long-running show of the same name, The Banjo in AmericaFor years, Bill has played a series of concerts that trace 250 years of music performed on the banjos of the day, from the Haitian-inspired banza to the Gibson Mastertone and eight other historical instruments in between.

Bill Evans Banjo In AmericaIn the Tiki Parlor Recordings project, Bill plays 19 pieces recorded in high-quality audio and beautiful video, highlighting Bill playing multiple American banjo styles including 19th-century stroke style, old-time finger styles, classic banjo of the ragtime era, Scruggs-style bluegrass and beyond, including some of his own compositions. Bill created extensive liner notes that provide the background and context for each piece, making this a full historical document of the instrument’s history.
