What kind of job did Bill Evans find after low-profile Tuxedo gigs at the Friendship Club and the Roseland Ballroom, as well as Jewish weddings, intermission spots, and over-40 dances?
Bill Evans played solo opposite the Modern Jazz Quartet at the Village Vanguard, where one day he saw Miles Davis listening to him. Evans also met Thelonious Monk.

Self-contained rewrite: Did any of the low-profile 'Tuxedo gigs', solo gigs in which Bill Evans was seen by Miles Davis or meeting Thelonious Monk amount to something larger?
