I first heard Nardis around a decade ago and ever since it has always been one of my favorite Jazz pieces (if not #1). It was also my introduction to Bill Evans. When researching him I was surprised to learn Nardis was composed by Miles Davis but that there was never a recording from Miles himself.
However, until I read this article I never knew there was such a following around Nardis nor was I aware that Bill Evans had such an obsession with the song. There's something quite satisfying when you discover good music independently and only then slowly discover the existing culture around it.
