Gary's Theme was written by Gary McFarland, the gifted vibraphonist and arranger who died in 1971 at thirty-eight. Bill Evans recorded it on You Must Believe in Spring, the 1977 Capitol Studios session with Eddie Gomez and Eliot Zigmund that was only released after Evans' own death.
It is among the most tender things on a tender record: a slow, singing theme that Evans harmonises with great care, more remembrance than performance.
The MIDI contains the complete piano part, hands separated, ready for practice mode.

Bill Evans
Bill Evans brought impressionist harmony and a singing, introspective touch to the piano trio. His rootless voicings reshaped how jazz pianists hear chords, and albums like Sunday at the Village Vanguard remain essential listening.
