Bill Evans

Europe 2018 press. Limited Edition, Reissue, Stereo, Red, 180 gram.
1958 and Evans was still the new kid on the block, but this one proved he was already a monster. Clean, lyrical piano lines with just enough bite to keep it from being background music. The title’s no lie either - even Miles, Cannonball and Ahmad Jamal were on the sleeve gushing about him. Proper jazz calling card stuff. FFO: Miles Davis fanboys taking notes, whisky in a too-small glass, your mate who won’t stop name-dropping, and anyone who pretends they always “dug Bill Evans” before it was cool.
