The Legacy : Bill Evans Reaching Out from the Regional Southwest

At the frenetic height of its activity, while based in Seattle, Bill Evans' troupe toured for forty weeks of the year, and was the most booked dance company in America.

The Legacy gives a comprehensive overview of the career and choreography of Bill Evans and a history of his company.

The book explores the regionalism which has been a creative force in the development and history of the Evans company.

It also focuses on the cross-cultural exchanges in Evans' tours throughout Mexico, Europe and Asia.

An underlying theme is the decentralization of the arts in America.

The accompanying videotape features a performance of The Legacy.
