Our Take

Bill Evans, the jazz maestro beloved by pianists and hipsters alike, is back with a reissue of his iconic album "Conversations With Myself" on blue vinyl, because why stick to black when you can jazz it up a bit, am I right?

Evans, known for his intricate melodies and seamless improvisations, takes the listener on a mesmerizing journey through a series of solo performances. But here's the kicker: he's not alone. Nope, Evans plays alongside himself, layering multiple piano tracks and creating a sonic tapestry that is both mind-bending and toe-tapping.

The album, originally released in 1963, still sounds fresh and innovative today. Evans' ability to engage in musical dialogue with himself is a feat that few musicians have been able to replicate. It's like watching a one-man band perform, but instead of juggling tambourines and harmonicas, Evans is juggling complex harmonies and rhythms with ease.

Tracks like "How About You?" and "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" showcase Evans' virtuosity and creativity, while the title track "Conversations With Myself" is a testament to his ability to blend different musical personalities into a cohesive whole.

So, grab your blue vinyl copy of "Conversations With Myself" and let Bill Evans take you on a musical journey that will leave you scratching your head in wonder and tapping your feet in delight. Trust me, you won't regret it.
