Description
Cut from Resonance’s trove of late-60s to late-70s tapes, Bill Evans – Smile With Your Heart: The Best Of Bill Evans On Resonance (LP) pulls highlights from the brief Jack DeJohnette stint through the later Gomez/Morell and LaBarbera trios. It plays like a concise evening with Evans rather than a grab-bag. Hear the left-hand feint before the head on My Funny Valentine, the airy ride cymbal bloom on Some Other Time, and Eddie Gomez’s lyrical slide beneath Waltz for Debby.
This pressing opens the space around the piano so voicings breathe, and cymbals decay cleanly. Imaging also feels a touch wider than the digital anthologies, which helps you locate the trio in the room. Sequencing is smart, moving from intimate songbook moments to the quietly daring modal stretches Evans loved.
File it next to Oscar Peterson or your Riverside-era Evans; the swing is humane, the touch unmistakable. If you’re browsing from Melbourne, or anywhere really, and would rather not trek in, you can buy Bill Evans records online through us.
Packaging notes are thoughtful without being fussy, and the curation shows why the Resonance period is essential beyond completism. Small details keep pulling you back: a brushed pickup here, a delayed resolution there, always in service of the melody. You’ll hear the difference most on a modest system, which is exactly the point. Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
