Our Take

If Bill Evans, Shelly Manne, and Monty Budwig walked into a bar, Empathy would be the smooth jazz cocktail they'd order. This limited edition reissue is a delightful blend of piano, drums, and bass that will have you tapping your foot and snapping your fingers in no time.

The opening track, "Elegy for Bill, A Tribute to Bill Evans," sets the tone for the album, with its melancholic melody and intricate piano work. Shelly Manne's drumming is tight and precise, providing the perfect backdrop for Evans' virtuosic playing.

The addition of two bonus tracks adds even more depth to an already stellar album. "Who Can I Turn To?" and "Come Rain or Come Shine" showcase the trio's versatility and skill, with each musician getting a chance to shine.

Overall, Empathy is a masterclass in musical synergy. Each member of the trio plays off the others with finesse and precision, creating a sound that is at once cohesive and dynamic. Whether you're a diehard jazz fan or just looking for some easy listening, this album is sure to please. Cheers to Evans, Manne, and Budwig for a job well done.
