Bill Evans Trio: The Legendary (CD: Cherry Red, 3 CDs)
"Bill had this quiet fire that I loved on piano. The way he approached it, the sound he got was like crystal notes or sparkling water cascading down from some clear waterfall." (Miles Davis). Bill Evans co-wrote 'Kind Of Blue' with Miles Davis and is regarded by many as the most influential jazz pianist of his generation. The trio he formed in 1959 with the brilliant, ill-fated young bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motion is surely as fine as any in jazz history. This three-disc box set edition comprises almost everything this Evans trio recorded; The two miraculous studio albums, 'Portrait In Jazz' and 'Explorations'; the intimate live sets recorded in New York in the summer of 1961, 'Sunday Night At The Village Vanguard' and 'Waltz For Debby'. These masterpieces are complimented by the Birdland sessions - an earlier musical document of the trio in an authentic club setting - with disc three completed by the their first recordings together, with the jazz clarinettist Tony Scott; for the album 'Sung Heroes', his homages to Billie Holiday and the trumpeter "Hot Lips" Page.

 | Bill Evans Trio: Waltz For Debby (CD: Riverside)
Evans' finest and most lucid trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian was cruelly cut short by the bassist's death in an automobile accident just ten days after this live set was taped. Capturing them at the height of their powers, 'Waltz' and the 'Vanguard' discs originate from the same (beautifully recorded) concerts in June 1961 and showcase the pianist's gentle, almost classical fingers (the opening of the title tune sounds almost like a John Ireland prelude) and LaFaro's electrifying elastic bass lines. Evans subsequently went on to form various groups, few with the empathy or expression of this one. A BEBOP SHOP MILESTONE- An essential recording for your jazz CD shelf

 | Bill Evans & Shelly Manne with Monty Budwig: Empathy (Vinyl LP: Soundsgood)
Bill Evans spent late 1961 and most of 1962 participating on a variety of recording projects which featured him playing either solo or along with musicians with whom he rarely worked. Empathy was the first of only two albums Evans recorded with drummer Shelly Manne (their second collaboration, A Simple Matter of Conviction, was taped in 1966). It features the pianist and drummer in a trio format, with Monty Budwigon bass, and presents an unusual program, with four out of six tunes Evans would never record again in any format.Limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing - gatefold sleeve, the complete album + 2 bonus tracks.

 | Bill Evans Trio: How My Heart Sings! (Vinyl LP: Riverside/ Craft Recordings)
Bill Evans's return to full activity in 1962 came almost a year after his celebrated trio recordings at the Village Vanguard. Just ten days after that classic "live" session, bassist Scott LaFaro had died in a highway accident. Evans, deeply shaken, eventually reformed his trio with the same drummer (Paul Motian) and Chuck Israels on bass. Their first visit to a studio was for a dual purpose: to make an all-ballad-tempo album, Moonbeams, and this "normal" set at the same time. It was producer Orrin Keepnews's thought that recording eight slow numbers in a row might prove unduly enervating; accordingly, the total two-album repertoire was interspersed over three days of recording and the net result was two excellent additions to the Evans catalogue.

 | Bill Evans Trio: Moon Beams (Vinyl LP: Riverside/ Craft Recordings)
Recorded in New York City over the course of three sessions in May and June of 1962, Moon Beams is the first studio recording by the Bill Evans Trio following the sudden accidental death of bassist Scott LaFaro the year before. Chuck Israels replaces LaFaro, playing more of an accompanist's role than was Scott's style, and Paul Motian resumes his drumming duties with the trio. This lineup produced material for two albums that would be amongst Evans's most popular. Moonbeams includes ballads from the '62 sessions, which also yielded the more upbeat How My Heart Sings that same year. Moonbeams captures some of Evans's most introspective playing, his sense of loss evident but soothed by Israels's empathetic performances. Evans also expresses his lyricism underlaid with rhythmic firmness, even in the extraordinarily slow "Love in Vain." (Universal Music)

 | Bill Evans Trio: Time Remembered (CD: Milestone- US Import)
Evans (1929-1980) remains the most influential improvising pianist of the past 40 years, for his exquisite sound, dreamlike chord voicings, deep song balladry, and singular conception of rhythmic displacement. This set contains five solo piano pieces, four of which are from the April 1962 date that marked Evans's return to the studio following the sudden death in July 1961 of the brilliant 25-year-old bassist Scott LaFaro, the pianist's closest collaborator. The remainder of the program was done in May 1963, live at the fondly remembered Hollywood club Shelly's Manne-Hole, and featured his highly underrated trio including bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker. With cohesive, if typically understated, support, Evans, as was his wont, brings song-form improvisation to the pinnacle of communication. (Fantasy, Inc.)
