BILL EVANS TRIO: On A Monday Evening
Fantasy, 2017
CLASSIC JAZZ – Previously unreleased, this live set from late 1976 features Evans in a rare stable phase of his life, with his longtime collaborator Eddie Gomez on bass and Eliot Zigmund on drums. The recording quality is uneven (track 1 is particularly muddy), but the music is lovely, exuberant, and propulsive, well worth a listen.
Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
1. 5:29 – lush, bright solo piano for 2 mins; trio is happy & snappy
2. 6:06 – upbeat, forceful waltz: lilting piano bounces, buoyant bass solo
3. 5:34 – meandering midtempo, rich piano chords, bowed bass solo
4. 5:07 – uptempo 12-tone melody: restless & a bit edgy, everybody gets busy
5. 6:15 – upbeat waltzing standard: strong piano takes odd little twists & turns
6. 3:49 – wistful Brazilian ballad, drums stay far in background
7. 9:41 – breezy uptempo, weird chords: relaxes for a 3-minute bass solo
8. 4:48 – cool daydreamy ballad, medium tempo: pulls you gently along
