I'm recovering from a year-long obsessive binge of Bill Evans Trio. For other fans here, I'm curious as to what your favorite album is? I Will Say Goodbye and Since We Met are brlliant, of course, but Sunday at the Village Vanguard with Scott Lafaro holds a special place in my heart. Yours?

His episode of Piano Jazz with Marion McPartland is really a joy. It's on spotify.

I have been enjoying Bill Frisell Gone, Just like a train. Review: “...as if Carl Perkins and Duane Eddy took on Otis Rush and Bill Evans in a bridge tournament.”

Hold my beer, I gotta go listen to the intro to "So What" again now... :-)

Those lush opening chords are what got me into Bill Evans. I also discovered Jaco Pastorius in a similar way. His bass playing in Bright Size Life was so distractingly good I had to investigate.
