Bill Evans Trio

Description:

Bill Evans, who lost Scott Ruffalo in an accident the previous year, recorded this revival in May/June 1962 with a new trio featuring a new bassist, Chuck Israel. This is a beautiful album with indulgent playing, mainly sweet and romantic ballads. The sensuous beautiful woman jacket is also attractive. Containing ballads, the same year also produced the more upbeat "How My Heart Sings"; "Moonbeams" contains some of Evans' most introspective playing, where his sense of loss is evident, but soothed by Israel's sympathetic playing. The ultra-slow "Love in Vain" also showcases Evans' lyricism, backed by rhythmic rhythms. [Personnel] Bill Evans (p) Chuck Israel (b) Paul Motian (ds)
