“Everybody Digs Bill Evans,” the jazz biopic that received a rapturous reception in the Berlinale and would go on to win the Silver Bear for director Grant Gee, has been picked up for the U.S.

Cohen Media Group has bought the feature, described by “evocative portrait of one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.”

“Everybody Digs Bill Evans” centers on a pivotal moment in 1961, when the sudden death of bassist and creative partner Scott LaFaro leaves jazz pianist Bill Evans unable to play, forcing him to confront grief, addiction and the fragile balance between artistry and self-destruction.
