It is.

Fantastic cut!! a litlle brother "mister magic!!

Make it weak to the knees

For years I've had Autumn Leaves pop up in my head at random times, unsure of the song's origin, remembering only that my dad used to play it on piano in our living room all the time growing up. My father being a Bill Evans fan, it's no surprise that this is one of the songs he chose to play frequently. Now I would like to one day learn to play a nice rendition on guitar. It's a real joy finally knowing which song I so fondly (and randomly) remember.

Sublime. This was such a breakaway from what others were doing, and it could have been create yesterday...

wow.

Glenn Gould admired Bill Evans. Bill Evans admired Glenn Gould. What else is there to say? Bellissimo.

Sounds good😍😍😍

George Benson said he was his favorite guitarist so here I am.

I arrive here becuase I like the 40s, 50s and earlies 60s, the firist artist that I heard until now since 2015 was Chet Baker, and now it get a plus of favorite artists of this genere. A gen Z who likes this type of music and the decades where they were popular.

I’m learning to play Grant Green songs - he is more melodic and I take his figures and turn them into improvisational workouts

All over the place, without improvisation, how can anyone remember this stuff?

Thanks, Luann.

all distorted

Bill went through some Payne in his later life. I wonder if it had to do with his artistic center?

love the tone of his guitar here ... I wonder which one it was? The photo seems to show almost a thinner body double cutaway. Anyway, whatever it was I like the tone. And obviously the playing :D

I'd never heard a single note of this man's playing until now ie almost 2024AD. Jack Ruch sent me here :-)

We have the same name and birthday. We were both born in New Jersey too!!

Bill Evans, Nothing short of (AMAZING) ever. One can clearly understand the bridge between him & Miles Davis! I call it **The Bridge of Genius** !!! ...

Woo dude, very perceptive observation! That's the exact genius of Bill Evans & sets him apart. A distinct difference if you will !!!

2:44 Richard Bona quotes this line in Song For Bilbao on the Pat Metheny DVD from Japan 2004 or whatever year it is!

Definitivamente estoy en chok musical y emocional yo diría que este álbum es una obra maestra de Herbie

I kind of feel lost, and I am here trying to find me!

I like Oscar Peterson. His music is foot-warming and cheerful. It swings. But Bill Evans really annoys me. He's a whole downer. His whole demeanour is lifeless and depressing. And this comes through in his playing. I think he'd benefit from a kick up the ass. 😮

I've tried and tried with Grant but it won't do. I find him ploddy, stiff, lacking swing and those irritating repetitive phrases make me want to scream.

his playing is perfect, this is soul cleansing... interplay between the 3 is also amazing as well

Cant get better

It’s a cold wet dark stormy Winter night in Scotland. I’m cozy indoors with the rain battering off the window, I’m surrounded by colourful warm lights. My 2 year old Daughter is sleeping in my arms on the sofa. We’re snuggled up in blankets, my Wife is sitting next to us working on her laptop. Monk is on the TV. I’m listening to this album on my headphones. Life is perfect right now. Thank you Universe! 🙏🏽🌀🤍

Great one! Amongst TOP 5 Blue Note recording ever made open to public audience

merci c'est frais !

Sua interpretação é muito muito sensível e refinada. E extremamente intimista, é como se ele se voltasse totalmente pra dentro, como se tocasse para si mesmo. Toda a angústia, tristeza e momentos mais tranquilos expressos de maneira tão sofisticada. É meu pianista preferido .

One of the great geniuses/giants of jazz. Thank you , Bill, for all these lyrical, improvisational treasures.

What phrasing! Imaginative. Whimsical. Brilliant. No wonder he was one of Wes Montgomery's favorite artist. Thank you for sharing 👏🏿

I always liked Grant Green. My first time hearing this. I play off, mostly off, and on but my teacher said I have some Grant Green qualities. I love Django. I feel like I’m hearing Django in this.

Beautiful, serene music 🤩😍

I often think that this is the most overlooked ensemble jazz record ever.

I wonder if I will ever tire of this album
