If introspection became a byword during the latter part of his life, in earlier days Bill Evans did swing with the best of them, his more thoughtful moments carrying much weight as his choice of note/chord and placement thereof became crucial to a composition or solo. He also passed master as an accompanist, not only for what he did play but – almost as importantly – what he didn’t. Enjoy his albums ‘Portrait In Jazz’, ‘New Jazz Conceptions’ and ‘Everybody Digs Bill Evans’ on this 3CD set.
