Bill Evans – Time Remembered
Evans is by far my favorite pianist not alive today. His use of expressionistic harmonies and rhythmic displacement turn out some the most beautiful music. I’ve heard this song described as a painting, a portrait of Debussy and Chopin rolled into one jazz chart (if you can call it jazz). Sometimes it just feels like natural music just pouring out of his fingers, as if he wasn’t planing on playing anything, it just came out. If you notice his hands are sort of puffy, this was a side effect of hepatitis that surprisingly doesn’t effect his playing. Eddie Gomez on bass, Marty Morrell on drums.
