Bill Evans Trio Live

The versatility and range of Bill Evans had been displayed in such varied albums as “Bill Evans With Symphony Orchestra” and to his two Grammy Award winning solo albums, “Conversations With Myself” and “Alone”. But perhaps his most effective and certainly most familiar format is the trio. Complemented by the outstanding talents of Chuck Israels on bass and Larry Bunker on drums, this particular Bill Evans trio attains a balance of sensitivity and depth that is rarely achieved. During the previous decade Bill Evans had steadily emerged as one of the most influential musicians in jazz. His lyrical style and deft touch had earned Evans widespread acclaim as a poet laureate in jazz circles. This album was recorded in 1964 at The Trident in picturesque Sausalito, California finds Evans delving into a handful of jazz standards including such songs as “Someday My Prince Will Come,” “How My Heart Sings” and “What Kind of Fool Am I?”.
