Sunday at the Village Vanguard

Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Sunday at the Village Vanguard (and Waltz for Debby, its companion album) is one of the most important piano trio albums in history and a desert-island choice among many musicians. It marks the final appearance of bassist Scott LaFaro with Evans and drummer Paul Motian. LaFaro demonstrated a concept of jazz bass playing here that shattered ...

Explorations

Explorations (1961) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

When this album was recorded in February of 1961, it had been more than year since the Portrait in Jazz was issued, the disc that won the critics over. By the time of this issue, Evans had released four albums in six years, a pace unheard of during that time. Most musicians were issuing two, three, and even four records a year during the same era. ...

Moonbeams

Moonbeams (1962) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Moonbeams was the first recording Bill Evans made after the death of his musical right arm, bassist Scott LaFaro. Indeed, in LaFaro, Evans found a counterpart rather than a sideman, and the music they made together over four albums showed it. Bassist Chuck Israels from Cecil Taylor and Bud Powell's bands took his place in the band with Evans and ...

Since We Met (1974) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Thirteen years after his legendary Village Vanguard recordings, Bill Evans recorded Since We Met at the famous New York establishment again. Using his trio of the era (which includes bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Marty Morell), Evans explores both familiar ("Time Remembered," "Turn Out the Stars" and "But Beautiful") and new (Joe Zawinul's ...

Portrait in Jazz

Portrait in Jazz (1959) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

The first of two studio albums by the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian trio (both of which preceded their famous engagement at the Village Vanguard), this Portrait in Jazz reissue contains some wondrous interplay, particularly between pianist Evans and bassist LaFaro, on the two versions of "Autumn Leaves." Other than introducing Evans' "Peri's ...

I Will Say Goodbye

I Will Say Goodbye (1977) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

The title refers to the Michel Legrand piece performed twice on the date, and to the fact that pianist Bill Evans was on the verge of switching labels from Fantasy to Warner Bros. For his final Fantasy album, Evans, bassist Eddie Gómez, and drummer Eliot Zigmund perform memorable renditions of such songs as Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance," ...

Consecration [Milestone]

Consecration [Milestone] (2002) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

While it's true that this eight-CD box set was issued in Japan and in Europe briefly, none of its performances have been heard in any form in the United States. This is the companion piece to Milestone's previously issued eight-CD The Last Waltz. Like the previous collection, these live dates with Evans' final trio -- Marc Johnson on bass and Joe ...

Everybody Digs Bill Evans

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1958) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Everybody Digs Bill Evans was a landmark recording for the young pianist and sported a unique album cover, featuring written-out endorsements from Miles Davis, George Shearing, Ahmad Jamal, and Cannonball Adderley. At a time approximate to when Evans was performing with the famous Kind of Blue band of Davis, Adderley, and John Coltrane, and ...

How My Heart Sings!

How My Heart Sings! (1962) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Recorded in May and June of 1962, at the same time as the Moonbeams sessions, How My Heart Sings shows a different side of the Bill Evans Trio than that all-ballads album. Here, the eight selections have a much more mid- and even up-tempo flair. Israel appears more comfortable in these settings to be sure, as he is the kind of bassist that ...

Waltz for Debby (1961) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1961, shortly before Scott LaFaro's death, Waltz for Debby is the second album issued from that historic session, and the final one from that legendary trio that also contained drummer Paul Motian. While the Sunday at the Village Vanguard album focused on material where LaFaro soloed prominently, this is far ...

Nirvana (1961) more music like this

by Herbie Mann & the Bill Evans Trio

It is surprising that this obscure session featuring Herbie Mann with the Bill Evans Trio (making its first recordings following the sudden death of bassist Scott LaFaro just a short time after the trio's landmark gig at the Village Vanguard) only reappeared on LP during the initial wave of CD reissues during the 1980s, but it is available once ...

Letter to Evan (1980) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Recorded during pianist Bill Evans' last visit to England (less than two months before his death), Evans is heard with one of his finest trios on Letter to Evan, the unit with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joe La Barbera. The recording quality of the live set (recorded at Ronnie Scott's) is excellent, and Evans is in surprisingly enthusiastic ...

Portrait in Jazz [Riverside Bonus Tracks] (2008) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

This 1959 studio session features Bill Evans with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, his earliest important trio and first working group to be recorded. Even at this early stage Evans and his bandmates display a substantial degree of interplay, getting well away from the tradition of the bass and drums playing a totally subservient role ...

Live in Europe 1965 more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

This CD compiles material previously issued on several different European releases, all of which likely came from radio broadcasts. Alto saxophonist Lee Konitz is an added guest for a long medley of standards, and the reunion between the two men, who had played together some in the past, works fairly well. The most intriguing track is the ...

Live in Rome 1979 (2005) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

In spite of failing health from years of drug abuse, Bill Evans spent a fair amount of time touring in the year prior to his death in 1980. Most of this CD comes from a 1979 club date in Rome, though it is apparent from the very beginning that the recording was made from the audience, due to the slightly muffled sound and the rather obnoxious, ...

At Shelly's Manne-Hole (1963) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

Although the Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian lineup of the Bill Evans Trio is generally considered to be the strongest, Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker make a strong case of their own on At Shelly's Manne-Hole, a 1964 release that finds the entire band in classic form. This particular trio may lack some of the sheer combustive force of the better-known ...

Cross-Currents (1977) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

This superior set was a logical idea. One of pianist Bill Evans' earlier influences was Lennie Tristano so on the date Evans' trio (with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Eliot Zigmund) was teamed with Tristano's two top "students": altoist Lee Konitz and tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh. The quintet performs four standards (all of which fit easily ...

But Beautiful (1974) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio With Stan Getz

Pianist Bill Evans and tenor-saxophonist Stan Getz only recorded in the studio together on one occasion, making these previously unreleased concert performances (issued for the first time in 1996) quite valuable. Evans (due to a misunderstanding) sits out on much of "Stan's Blues," and there are two trio features without the tenor but otherwise ...
