Our Take

Bill Evans' "Behind The Dikes - The 1969 Netherlands Recordings" is like stumbling upon a hidden treasure in a quaint Amsterdam record store. This album captures Evans at the peak of his piano prowess, showcasing his trademark nuanced touch and supreme musicality.

From the opening notes of "Very Early" to the wistful final chords of "It's Alright With Me," Evans takes listeners on a mesmerizing journey through his innovative interpretations of jazz standards and original compositions. The chemistry between Evans and his Dutch trio is palpable, with bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Marty Morell providing the perfect backdrop for Evans' sublime artistry.

Tracks like "Waltz for Debby" and "Round Midnight" are masterclasses in restraint and emotion, while the trio's playful reimagining of "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" adds a fresh perspective to a familiar tune. Evans' technical prowess is on full display throughout the album, with his delicate touch and intricate phrasing elevating each track to new heights.

"Behind The Dikes" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, showcasing Evans at the height of his creative powers. This album is a testament to Evans' enduring impact on the jazz world, solidifying his status as a true legend of the genre. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of Dutch gin, and let Bill Evans transport you to a world of musical magic and wonder. Trust us, you won't regret it.
