  1. Bill Evans, Evans in England, 2019 on Resonance

    Another late sixties (December 1969) set from Evans, Eddie Gomez, and Marty Morell, recorded at Ronnie Scott's. (Live at Ronnie Scott's, released in 2020, came from recordings made in July of 1968). Great production and packaging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvX6ZG0jAYA My copy—via private sale—is the Record Store Day 2019 2xLP deluxe edition, numbered and limited.

  2. Bill Evans - Behind the Dikes

    One of the yearly RSD Evans release—this one from 2021. Basically, two concerts from 1969 in the Netherlands with Evans (piano), Eddie Gomez (bass), and Marty Morell (drums). Nice included booklet with interviews and photos.

    Some unfortunate tape warble during the second concert, but good anyway!

  3. Bill Evans, Behind the Dikes: The 1969 Netherlands Recordings, 2021 on Elemental Music

    Zev Feldman of Resonance Records teamed up (as Producer, Liner Notes, and Researcher) with Elemental Music for yet another Bill Evans live set from the 1960s. These were often bootlegged but get official high quality treatment here.

    The recordings were made at KRO Studio I in Hilversum March 26th, 1969 and RAI Congrescentrum Amsterdam November 26th, 1969. Evans is joined by Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell. The release was mastered by Bernie Grundman and pressed by Standard Vinyl, with an insert booklet with photos, essays, and interviews. It’s a great package.

    My copy—via private sale—is the 3xLP 2021 deluxe edition, numbered, on 180 gram vinyl, which was issued for Record Store Day 2021.

  5. Bill Evans Trio, Bill Evans at Town Hall Volume One, 1967 on Verve

    Recorded at Town Hall on February 21st, 1966. The trio here includes Chuck Isreals and Arnold Wise – this being the only commercial recording with Wise on drums.

    The second side includes the 13 minute “Solo -In Memory of His Father, Harry L. Evans” who had died in 1966.

    My copy—via private sale—is the 2022 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue supervised by Chad Kassem from Analogue Productions.

  6. Bill Evans - Quintessence

    Late period Evans, on Fantasy, from 1976. On this, he's joined by Harold Land (tenor), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).

    A relatively short album, with no Evans originals...but the group does a nice job with these tracks.

    I'm going to excuse the bad pun in the title.

  7. Bill Evans, Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top Of the Gate, 2012 on Resonance

    Another Sunday, another Bill Evan’s live LP from Resonance. This one was recorded October 23, 1968 in Greenwich Village. This time Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell join Evans.

    This was recorded by Geoge Klabin himself, founder of the Rising Jazz Stars foundation and Resonance Records, as a 22 year old college student.

    My copy—via a private sale—is the 2019 Record Store Day limited edition numbered release.

  8. Bill Evans, At The Montreux Jazz Festival, 1968 on Verve

    Second 1968 Bill Evans performance I’ve posted this week, this one has the trio (again with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette) at Casino de Montreux in Switzerland, and was recorded by the technical department of Radio Suisse Romande.

    My copy (via a private sale) is the 2020 Analogue Productions reissue on two 45rpm 200g records, cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. Sounds fantastic, though I can’t say I like having to change the platter twice as often.

  9. Bill Evans, Live at Ronnie Scott’s, 2020 on Resonance

    Recorded back in July of 1968, this is Evans with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette at London’s landmark Ronnie Scott’s club. Resonance Records itself is part of the non-profit Rising Jazz Stars Foundation.

    The trio in this form had a month long residency in 1968 at the club. The recording here was made by DeJohnette himself, so the sound quality varies a bit from the normal professional recordings of the era, but it is worth it for the playing here. Essentially like a quality “audience” bootleg pressed professionally to vinyl.

    My copy – via a private sale – is the 2xLP Record Store Day 2020 edition, in mono, cut by Bernie Grundman and pressed at RTI. It includes an 11 page booklet with tributes and interviews (including DeJohnette and Gomez, as well as Chevy Chase).

  10. 쿨재즈 대표곡 빌 에반스의 블루인 그린(Blue in green) 리메이크 재즈1시간 | 감성재즈 | 빗소리 | 힐링 – This is Bill Evans‘ ‚Blue in Green‘, a song that represents the calm and slow tempo cool jazz that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

  13. Stan Getz & Bill Evans, Previously Unreleased Recordings, 1974 on Verve

    Sometimes just referred to as Stan Getz & Bill Evans, this was recorded in 1964 but not released until 1974. Ron Carter (A side) and Richard Davis (B side) on bass, with Elvin Jones on drums. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs NJ and produced by Creed Taylor.

    There’s a whole series of “Previously Unreleased Recordings” advertised on the rear jacket. Beautiful sounding LP well packaged.

    My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is of the 2024 UMG/UMe reissue, overseen by Chad Kassem from Acoustic Sounds.

  15. Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth

    This post-bop classic from 1961 has a pretty incredible lineup of collaborators, including Bill Evans (piano), Roy Haynes (drums), Eric Dolphy (alto, flute), Oliver Nelson (tenor & alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet). George Barrow (baritone sax) is not on the cover, because he doesn't solo, but everyone else does...and well.

  16. Bill Evans and Paul Bley mix it up together on George Russell’s “Chromatic Universe,” and the results are brilliant.

  17. Bill Evans - Momentum

    This well-recorded concert from 1972 was in the hands of a private collector for years, and finally released 12 years ago or so. MOV put out this release on black vinyl, and will be re-releasing it on blue vinyl soon.

    While the "classic" Evans trio is Evans/LaFaro/Motian, Eddie Gomez (bass) and Marty Morell (drums) are great on this.

  18. Chum reminded me that on this day, March 2nd, back in 1959, Miles Davis and Co started their first recording session for what would become Kind of Blue. One of my all-time favourite jazz albums, hell, one of my all-time favourite albums of any type.

    Among the other musicians involved were the equally legendary John Coltrane and the brilliant Bill Evans. Blue gold...

  19. We’re in such a good period right now for reasonably priced HQ #jazz reissues. The #craftrecordings #ojc reissues are really well done. I used to be pretty snobbish about reissues but I can’t deny how good these sound. #jazzrecords #nowplaying #billevans @vinylrecords

  20. Chilling sipping fine rye & #NowSpinning #WaltzForDebby by the #BillEvans Trio.

    Cliché, I know, but this is my favourite of his #Riverside output. So smooth, refined & the playing is melodic & nimble.

    This, from the boxset by #AnalogueProductions, is cut at 45 by #KevinGray. My set is flawless, flat, dynamic, & ‘in the room’ real.

    As a Trio, there is telepathy at work here, but I find myself leaning into the playing of #ScottLaFaro.

  21. more japan cd stuff.

    along that ongoing retail price explosion for vinyl records these import cds have sneaked onto the "reasonable & affordable" lists.

    also, taming the addiction for more is hard.

  22. #NowListening to #BillEvans, Live at the Village Hall, cut by #RyanKSmith from the #AcousticSounds #Verve series. I’ve picked up all of the Evans 33s, & this, a gift from my bro, is, I think, my favourite to date.

    There is some really beautiful & delicate playing, but, when it swings, it really swings. Throughout #ChuckIsraels really shines.

    This, along with the #Riverside box set, & I’m turning into something of an Evans-fanboy.

  23. "A Face Without a Name", played by Bill Evans on piano, and Eddie Gómez on bass, is the perfect stimulating yet non-intrusive track to accompany this morning's work. It runs deep, but gently bubbles on the surface.
