Our Take

London's very own Bill Evans has always been a treasure in the jazz world, and this latest compilation of records from Denmark showcases some of his most dazzling performances from 1965-69.

From the soothing solo piano tracks to the dynamic trio recordings, Evans effortlessly navigates through different moods and styles with his trademark grace and elegance. The orchestral arrangements on some tracks add an extra layer of richness and depth to the already lush compositions.

Tracks like "The Grand Erector" and "Sugar Plum" demonstrate Evans' unparalleled ability to blend complexity with accessibility, drawing in listeners with his mesmerizing melodies and captivating improvisations.

However, not every track on this compilation hits the mark. Some of the orchestral arrangements feel a bit overbearing, overshadowing Evans' delicate piano work. And the production quality can be a bit hit or miss, with some tracks sounding a bit muddled and distant.

Overall, "Treasures" is a must-have for any die-hard Bill Evans fan, offering a unique glimpse into the legendary pianist's creative process and unparalleled talent. Despite its minor flaws, this compilation solidifies Evans' status as one of jazz's greatest treasures. So grab your beret and sip on a cup of Earl Grey as you bask in the glorious sounds of Bill Evans. Cheers, darling. Jazz on.
