Amazon offers Moon Beams (Audio CD),01 July, 1991 List price $11.98 ONE OF THE GREATEST JAZZ BALLAD PERFORMANCES--EVER! / 5 Five Stars are not enough: this CD is worthy of SIX Stars!! When uber-bassist Scottie La Faro was killed in a car accident, it took a devasted Bill Evans a full year to both recover and to acclimate to his new bassist Chuck Israels to the point of being ready to record. Israels brought to the trio another dimension of jazz bass wizardry using 'commentary' on Evans' work, instead of the previous 'conversations' between Bill's piano and La Faro's mighty bass. Produced by Orrin "OKeep" Keepnews, this CD is essential Bill Evans and one of the greatest jazz ballad performances-ever. Along with the legendary recording, "Sunday At The Village Vanguard" (with La Faro), this recording slammed the door on all assertions that Evans' was a better sideman than a leader. As ballads should be, these tunes are generally taken at a slow pace but never maudlin. They are in fact very beautiful and spectacular, as Bill shows a different side to what are mostly very familiar ballads loved by jazzmen. Evans usually states the theme at a slow pace and accelerates into a faster pace after one pass, springing off of Israels' bedrock phrases. The Piece D' Resistance, the modish "Re: Person I Knew", is a shot across the bow of 1960's pianism with Evans reelling off mighty, wondrous statements that are breathtaking, crystal clear, and with a relaxed intensity. Israels' first recorded bass solo with the trio is both deeply emotional and technically adept showing he is a worthy successor to La Faro. "Very Early" is a fabulous convoluted jazz waltz that shows off another view of Bill's compositional and soloing skills. Israels' bass commentary and his solo are a joy to hear. Tadd Dameron's super ballad "If You Could See Me Now" is pure block-chorded beauty (especially on 'the bridge'), as is "Polka Dots and Moonbeams", both shifting gears after one pass through with wondrous, dazzling single-noted lines that never stray from lyricism. "I Fall in Love Too Easily", "Stairways To The Stars" (note the fabulous Motian brushwork and Evans' blazing coda), and "It Might As Well Be Spring" are total lyrical examples of what a jazz trio should be, with all members contributing SIMULTANEOUSLY and INVENTIVELY to the flow of the music from theme to solo to recapitulation. Paul Motian does some mighty, but subtle drumming throughout providing excellent support within the trio framework. An Essential Recording. HIghly Recommended. Six Stars!! (Note: Bill Evans had a crucial choice to make: whether to play classical piano or jazz piano. We are so lucky that he chose jazz, probably to the detriment of his health, and brought alot of his classical techniques along for the ride. It was never on better display than on this CD.) Song "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your life?" I want to see your face in every kind of light In fields of dawn and forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make What are you doing the rest of your life? North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me All the seasons and the times of your days All the nickels and the dimes of your days Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days All begin and end with me I want to see your face in every kind of light In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love that you keep in your eyes I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes It may take a kiss or two Through all of my life Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you
