' Morning Glory is a revelation. Recorded live in Buenos Aires in 1973 (and released in 2022), it captures a moment of political optimism. Combined with a 10 am showtime & the audience's rapturous appreciation for Evans & his trio -- this is a potent brew. By the encores, Evans, bassist Eddie Gomez & drummer Marty Morrell are lit up--as is the audience. Jazz musicians often get more 💙 in places like Japan, Europe & South America than in the U.S. That's life.

' Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961) is a landmark album. Evans' near-telepathic interplay with bassist and drummer redefined the art of the trio. LaFaro is dazzling: the fact that he died in a car accident 11 days after the recording elevates the performances to legend. The ambient club noise is poignant; the room is tiny. Devastated by LaFaro's death, Evans didn't play again for months--and possibly never fully recovered.

' is influential--not just because it's the greatest jazz album of all time. Richard Williams 2009 book, The Blue Moment: Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and the Remaking of Modern Music, makes the case that Kind of Blue influenced everyone from to . No doubt the album led to the creation of a whole sub-genre, . After Kind of Blue, never again recorded with Miles Davis. But Evans was just getting started.

and produced sublime music together. Davis said he planned around Evans' piano. Evans took some heat for being a white guy in the hippest Black band on the planet. But it was nothing compared to the racism Davis endured. He was assaulted & bloodied by the police in 1959 for having a smoke outside a NYC club where he was playing. Davis' name was on the marquee, he was at the height of his fame & Kind of Blue had just been released.

Like many, I became aware of when I listened to ' Kind of Blue. Evans' piano intro on So What was so great. His liner notes also caught my attention--he explained why improvisation is such a demanding art form. I love this version of the Evans Trio playing So What because it's wild & recorded in Canada. Bill Evans could swing hard.

birthday is coming up on August 16th, so I may post a few thoughts over the coming days (and welcome others to add theirs). Evans died on September 15, 1980--leaving a complex, brilliant legacy. Great releases keep coming. A live 2022 release (recorded in 1979), , is joyous, often exuberant. Even tracks like Suicide is Painless (Theme from M*A*S*H). The track mirrors Evans' life & death from terrible addictions.

Stan Getz & Bill Evans

This LP was recorded in 1964 but shelved until 1973. I'm not quite sure why...but it's kind of what you'd expect from that particular "cool jazz" team-up...a mellow affair.

Nicely recorded by Rudy van Gelder and given a flat, quiet pressing (at GZ, I think).

Tony Bennett and Bill Evans – Make Someone Happy

From the second of two albums Bennett made with jazz pianist/collaborator Bill Evans. Love both Bennett's voice and Evans's lyrical interludes here.

Bill Evans & Jim Hall - Undercurrent

I can't help but start with the cover - the great photograph "Weeki Wachee Spring" by Toni Frissell. Iconic.

And, of course, this brings together two jazz greats - Bill Evans (piano) and Jim Hall (guitar).

Music's great. Recording is not tip-top. Might be MoFi or the master, but there's quite a lot of dynamic range and it sounds like the tape saturated on occasion. But totally worthwhile regardless.
