There is something about Bill Evans that sets him apart from his peers. Perhaps it's his compositional grace, or maybe his gentle touch. Either way, since his death in 1980, his musical legacy has done nothing but grow. This compilation documents the pianist's Riverside years, which began in 1956 and ended in 1963. Compiled by producer Orrin Keepnews, this CD begins with selections from the pianist's first album NEW JAZZ CONCEPTIONS and continues through to BILL EVANS TRIO AT SHELLY'S MANNE-HOLE. "Our Delight" from NEW JAZZ CONCEPTIONS shows the early be-bop brilliance of Evans. At the time, he was still under the spell of Bud Powell. However, "Waltz for Debby," which premiered on the same album, hints at the impressionistic leanings Evans possessed even at such a young age. Later tracks such as "Everything Happens to Me" spotlight Evans's greatest strength: his ballad playing. His solo rendition of this jazz standard is not only harmonically rich, and contrapuntally logical, it is filled with tremendous warmth and raw emotion. Few musicians have the ability to bring out such tenderness on a piano. Indeed, this was Evans's unique gift.

| | Conte Candoli West Coast Wailers/Sings Ballads Of The Sad Cafe CD (1999)
Best Of Bill Evans music CDs
$11.69
This discount-priced two-fer combines two albums by different artists, first the 1957 collection West Coast Wailers by trumpeter Conte Candoli and pianist Lou Levy, then 1959's Chris Connor Sings Ballads of the Sad Café. The obvious question is what these two albums have to do with each other, and the simple answer is nothing. The Candoli/Levy date is a West Coast bop session on which a quintet, filled out by Bill Holman (tenor sax), Leroy Vinnegar (bass), and Larance Marable (drums) wail on a collection of standards such as "Lover Come Back to Me" and "Lover Man" as well as some originals. Candoli and Levy are better known as side musicians; they ...

Best Of Bill Evans songs
$9.45 
Charles Mingus has been quoted as saying that this is the best album he ever made, and that's recommendation enough. The second song alone, "Ysabel's Table Dance," is a brilliant blending of Latin rhythms and Mingus jazz that even the most casual listener will find entrancing--10-plus minutes of castanet-frenzied joy make one yearn to see what Mingus and his running buddies encountered in Mexico. (The bassist wrote that he took the trip to Tijuana "minus a wife" specifically to lose himself, and instead found music and sights to inspire a masterpiece.) "Los Mariachis (The Street Musicians)" manages to evoke both intimate moments with its unaccompanied solos and the enforced fun and bounce that street musicians must employ to earn their bread. "Dizzy Moods" doffs a cap to Dizzy Gillespie's own forays into Latin music, and the riff of "Tijuana Gift Shop" sets ...
