Our Take

As the moonlight cast a dreamy glow over my turntable, I couldn't help but be swept away by the enchanting sounds of the Bill Evans Trio's "Moon Beams." This album, released in 1962, is a masterclass in jazz craftsmanship, with Evans' delicate piano playing leading the way.

From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you are transported to a world of serene beauty and unparalleled musical talent. The trio's chemistry is palpable, with Scott LaFaro's bass and Paul Motian's drums perfectly complementing Evans' virtuoso performance.

Tracks like "Re: Person I Knew" and "If You Could See Me Now" showcase Evans' unique ability to blend technical mastery with emotional depth, creating a listening experience that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Moon Beams." The trio's reinterpretation of the classic standard "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" is a risky move that doesn't quite pay off, feeling a bit too forced and uninspired.

Overall, however, "Moon Beams" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Its timeless beauty and undeniable talent make it a true masterpiece in the world of jazz and a worthy addition to any music collection. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple and let the soothing sounds of the Bill Evans Trio wash over you like a warm bath on a cold winter's night.
