大家都懂艾文斯 / Bill Evans Trio – Everybody Digs Bill Evans (LP)

★ 20世紀最具影響力的鋼琴家探索自我的傳奇起點！

★內斂、即興、自省，賦予爵士鋼琴全新的詮釋方式！

比爾•伊凡斯曾擔任爵士女歌手比莉哈樂黛的巡迴樂手，也曾被邁爾士戴維斯延攬加入戴維斯六重奏樂團，成為唯一的白人成員；但他的傳奇，卻是在 1958 年末離開六重奏後才開始。當年他錄製了這張《大家都懂比爾•伊凡斯》，完全展現出他即興、內省、融合印象派和聲和傳統爵士樂的創造性詮釋，也呈現他最著名的有如歌曲般節奏的獨立旋律線，影響無數後世鋼琴家。

The legend of Bill Evans really begins with this album, his second. The pianist had just spent most of 1958 as part of one of the major units in jazz history: the Miles Davis sextet that also featured John Coltrane and Cannonball Addererley. His fellow musicians already knew his worth (the album title was almost literally accurate, and the four endorsements on the cover, which embarrassed Bill, could easily have been greatly mulitplied); with this record, the jazz public began to follow thier lead. Aided y Sam Jones and Philly JOe Jones. Evans set down some of his most swinging trio sides, but the session would be removable if it had only yielded the remarkable and haunting solo improvisation called "Peace Piece."
