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?

Mine is Some Other Time: The Lost Session From The Black Forest

I can listen to that album without ever getting tired.

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.”

I bought this on CD when it first came out. There is a big fold-out with gorgeous cartoon paintings by Jim Woodring. It's worth having the physical object if you like the music.

Bill Evans & Jim Hall --> Undercurrent

They also played on Intermodulation and Interplay, great albums. For guitarists, I like Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, and Joe Pass as well.

Yes, great albums!

Also really like the Milestones of a Jazz Legend - Jim Hall on Guitar Vol. 2 on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/5bwrg1BJvmtGEVxXmBvM2r?si=szA...

Not by the trio, but Undercurrent was the first album I listened to, and my favorite from Bill Evans by far. His (and Jim Hall's) improvisations, and the overall tone of the piano, in these tunes were incredible in terms of both melody and harmony.

What he said at the beginning is true for so many things...

* management. My current manager refuses to understand actual technical challenges that we're dealing with. Instead he is just trying to figure out how the team can organize itself, and work with other teams, and scale itself, and collaborate, and track work, etc. I think we are making a lot of wrong decisions at the moment due to this stubbornness to understand the actual types of problems we're trying to solve, and from there understand how we can organize work to better serve us and allow us to make progress.

* research. There can be a lot of bike shedding, or drive-by feedback, on complicated projects. Rarely people want to actually dig into one part of the problem, and really understand it. Most engineers think that it any problem is easy to solve. Yet when they have to solve it, they get lost. Research is about taking it one step at a time, understanding everything that's in front of you before going to the next page. It's only when you accept that you are going to have to invest time into this, and take it slowly, that you start making real progress, and start getting a real understanding of the whole problem.

Funny, I started my obsession about two months ago. I've basically always had Sunday at the Village Vanguard somewhere in my rotation for the last 10 years, but I've only started branching out with other Evans albums recently, beginning with Undercurrents. So I'm following replies here with some anticipation.

Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby are 2 of the best live albums of any genre
