everyone digs Bill Evans |
Everyone's gone home and babies are in bed after a busy and wonderful day. Not sure what is in store this evening but I think it would be a good night to chill out with some fabulous Bill Evan's Live at the Village Vanguard. Perhaps the wonderful song 'Gloria's Step'. Isn't that a great song? Don't you love Scott LeFaro's bass? I could get mournful here and talk about his tragic end shortly after this recording, but as I have said many times, we dwell on the positive here. Let's focus on his masterful technique and not talk about the tragic car accident.
I know I have talked about this Bill Evans album before, my friends, and with good reason.
It's one of the greatest.
Definitely agree about the Village Vanguard. I guess it's stating the obvious to say that his work on Kind of Blue was stellar, too, and perhaps less obviously in 1958 Miles.
ReplyDeleteI often thought it was a shame that he left Miles' band after so short a stay. I would love to hear the music that could have been!
