Our Take

In the realm of jazz, there are few names as revered as Bill Evans. With his latest release, "Momentum," the legendary pianist continues to push boundaries and defy expectations.

From the moment the opening track, "Rhythm in Blue," kicks in, it's clear that Evans is in top form. His playing is as deft and nuanced as ever, seamlessly weaving together intricate melodies and complex rhythms.

The album as a whole is a masterclass in musicality, with Evans effortlessly blending traditional jazz elements with more contemporary influences. Tracks like "Swingin' in the Rain" and "Funky Fusion" showcase his versatility and creativity, while still retaining that classic Evans sound.

But what truly sets "Momentum" apart is its sense of, well, momentum. Each track builds upon the last, creating a sense of forward motion that propels the listener through the entire album. It's a thrilling ride from start to finish, one that will leave you breathless and wanting more.

In short, "Momentum" is a triumph for Bill Evans, showcasing why he remains one of the true greats of jazz. It's a must-listen for fans of the genre, and further proof that Evans is a force to be reckoned with.
