Miles Davis/Gil Evans

This is quite a compilation! Over 7 hours of music...wow. Just found it on Spotify and listening now. Some brilliant stuff on there, including the Sketches of Spain songs. Quite a creative and prolific collaboration between those two. Good pick Grant.

I don't mind the less than perfect recordings - they add to the atmosphere and lend an air of authenticity!

:cool:

if you like Waltz for Debby...

This, IMHO, is it's equal, if not better. Bill Evans at his peak, before the dreaded Narcotics took hold.
The Trio's chemistry is as one.

Sunday at the Village Vanguard 1961

Adam, we have similar taste -- that album is already in my collection :). And yes, totally agree that this is an outstanding recording. One of his best, if not the best. I think there's also a Saturday session, which I don't yet have. He had such a delicate touch on the keyboard, quite unique and distinctive. By contrast, I listened to an Oscar Peterson recording last night, and they couldn't be more different in style - some pretty thunderous passages coming out of the speakers. Fun stuff!

I Don't know of the Saturday Night session Svend, yes different approach to Peterson!
Modern pianist Brad Mehldau is another firm favourite. But there are few with the touch of Bill Evans.
You can see why Miles adored him!

The drumming is beautiful from Shelly Manne, quite stunning on a good revealing system.

My mistake -- there was no Saturday night session...just checked Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Co...cordings,_1961. All sessions were recorded on the Sunday, including an afternoon session, hence my confusion. It also turns out that the Waltz for Debby recording came out of these very same sessions, which I didn't know.

I will definitely check out that Shelly Manne album! That's gotta be a great pairing with Evans. Thanks for the head's up on that. I just discovered Manne a couple of years ago, and he quickly became a favourite. Can't sit still listening to him. We have two of his Live at the Blackhawk recordings, and really need to get the other two in the set. Outstanding musician!
