The Bill Evans Trio - Moon Beams

This 1962 release was from the first sessions recorded after LaFaro passed rather tragically. Retaining Paul Motian (drums), Chuck Israels (bass) replaced him.

It's an interesting comparison with the LaFaro days (Debby/Vanguard/Explorations/Portrait), with Israels less out front, paired more with Motian great brushwork than with Evans.

None of which to say it's not a classic.

Bill Evans, Polka Dots and Moonbeams, 1967 (aka Bill Evans Trio, Moon Beams, 1962) on Riverside

This 1967 reissue of the 1962 album Moon Beams (which was credited to the Bill Evans Trio) is credited to Bill Evans and retitled to Polka Dots and Moonbeams – also given a new cover. (The original cover featured Nico, years before her time with the Velvet Underground).

Personnel here include Chuck Israels on bass and Paul Motian on drums. The original LP was produced by Orrin Keepnews, but this remastering was supervised by Bob Thiele. The original came out a year after Sunday at the Village Vanguard and only three years after Evans played on Kind of Blue.

My copy via Down in the Valley in Golden Valley MN – in really good shape.

Bill Evans Trio - How my heart sings!

This came out of the first session post-Vanguard/Debbie, after the death of Scott LaFaro, and you can see in the (great) liner notes how much this affected Evans.

That said, this album of upbeat, swinging tunes belies that extratextual sadness to my ears, with Chuck Israels on Bass and Paul Motian on drums…except perhaps on Summertime, which seems perhaps a bit wistful in this rendition.

Aquí no había compartido aún el maravillosísimo "Waltz for Debby" del maestro #BillEvans. Atención al portentoso contrabajista #ChuckIsraels que no pierde ripio de los dedos de Evans y no se arruga ni un poquito acompañando al líder.

#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.
