Bill Evans Trio, The - Moon Beams
Review by Marie Louise Verschuuren
Moon Beams by Bill Evans Trio is a fantastic album that showcases the group's exceptional musical abilities. The album features a collection of standards that are reimagined in a unique and innovative way. The trio's chemistry is evident in every track, with Evans' delicate piano playing complemented by the tight rhythm section of Paul Motian on drums and Chuck Israels on bass.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," a beautiful ballad that highlights Evans' ability to create lush and emotive harmonies. The trio's rendition of "You and the Night and the Music" is also noteworthy, with Motian's dynamic drumming adding a playful energy to the tune.
