 Rating: - Wild Bill, Part DeuxUnlike Edition One, this CD features mostly Evans originals. The close-mic'ed piano has an up-front, bright sound that almost sounds recorded in a carpeted studio. The bass has so much tone and sustain that it nearly duplicates a fretless bass guitar. The drums have a full, but natural sound.

Of course since then the final Village Vanguard sets were released which are equally as well executed. This is Bill Evans at his pinnicle. It's just so sad that he had so little time left.

The thing I love most about his approach ... Read More Rating: - Nardis alone is worth the purchaseThis and Volume 1 are must haves. Check out Bill's intro on Nardis - completely in time, yet unprecedented rhythmic displacement. The whole recording is this good. IMHO, some of the best, most moving Bill ever. |
