Recorded live at the Village Vanguard, these 1967 sides document a short-lived but truly inspired musical mix: the introspective pianist Bill Evans and the hard-driving drummer Philly Joe Jones. With the help of bassist Eddie Gomez, just beginning his 11-year association with Evans, this unlikely pair bring out the very best in each other. Released only two years after his death, this is an indispensable album in the Bill Evans canon.

Funny, I was listening to this last night. Especially enjoying Philly Joe's drumming, he really gets Bill swinging.
ReplyDeleteListening to If You Could See Me Now, I was imagining Bill looking in on my life now and wondering what he would make of it.
Maybe I will be able to incorporate that piece into my performance later this month when I will read from my book The Big Love / My Life With Bill Evans.
