#BillEvans' 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.
#BillEvans' Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961) is a landmark album. Evans' near-telepathic interplay with bassist #ScottLaFaro and drummer #PaulMotian 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.

#MilesDavis' #KindofBlue 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 #theVelvetUnderground to #BrianEno. No doubt the album led to the creation of a whole sub-genre, #ECM. After Kind of Blue, #BillEvans never again recorded with Miles Davis. But Evans was just getting started.

#MilesDavis and #BillEvans produced sublime music together. Davis said he planned #KindofBlue 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 #BillEvans when I listened to #MilesDavis' 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.
#BillEvans 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), #InnerSpirit, 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).

One of the highlights of a long career: Tony Bennett with Bill Evans.

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.
