Description:

How My Heart Sings! by Bill Evans, released 27 October 2023. This version of How My Heart Sings! comes as a 1xLP. The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. -

Bill Evans's return to full activity in 1962 came almost a year after his celebrated trio recordings at the Village Vanguard. Just ten days after that classic "live" session, bassist Scott LaFaro had died in a highway accident. Evans, deeply shaken, eventually reformed his trio with the same drummer (Paul Motian) and Chuck Israels on bass. Their first visit to a studio was for a dual purpose: To make an all-ballad-tempo album, Moonbeams, and this "normal" set at the same time. It was producer Orrin Keepnews's thought that recording eight slow numbers in a row might prove unduly enervating; accordingly, the total two-album repertoire was interspersed over three days of recording and the net result was two excellent additions to the Evans catalog. With Chuck Israels, Paul Motian. Tracks: How My Heart Sings, I Should Care, in Your Own Sweet Way (take 1), Walking Up, Summertime, 34 Skidoo, Ev'rything I Love, Show-Type Tune.

"How My Heart Sings" is a remarkable LP by the legendary Bill Evans Trio, released under the esteemed Riverside label. This album captures Evans at a creative peak, recorded in 1962 with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Paul Motian. The record showcases Evans' signature lyrical piano style, blending intricate harmonies with emotional depth across both original compositions and jazz standards. Notable tracks like "How My Heart Sings," "Summertime," and "Walking Up" highlight the trio's intuitive interplay and subtle dynamism. Riverside Records, founded in 1953, has been pivotal in shaping modern jazz history by producing classic albums from artists such as Thelonious Monk, Wes Montgomery, and Chet Baker. Bill Evans himself stands as one of jazz?s most influential pianists; his work on Miles Davis? ?Kind of Blue? revolutionized modal jazz, while his own trio recordings set new standards for group improvisation.
