You Need This If You Like Bill Evans
"Moon Beams" was recorded a year after the unfortunate death of fellow bandmate and bassist for Evans' now classic trio, Scott LaFaro. I think Evans' music changed after LaFaro's death and this recording represents a heartfelt dedication and a closure to the past. Evans is joined by Chuck Israels...

Evan's classic ballads album
With Evan's 2nd trio, this album iniated the second stage of the late pianist's evolution into a balladeer of the piano. Starting "Re: A Person I Knew" an anagram for Orrin Keepnews as well as an elegy for the late bassist Scott LaFaro, Evans' playing grew in intensity with this classic album....

The master of ballads plays all ballads
Evans is peerless when it comes to jazz ballads, to my ears, and here's a full album of his mellow mastery.Moonbeams is perfect for those who love quiet, introspective music, and is superb background sound for dimming the lights and so on. It is also much more than that. Evans' genius is his...

Not for Everyone
I own many Bill Evans CD's, including every one he did before this. Bill set out to be lyrical on this all-ballad record. The best way to understand the result to describe what it is not. It is nothing like the rowdy cuts on New Jazz Conceptions and Everybody Digs Bill Evans - no up tempo...

tastful & engaging
I like stripped down jazz combos and piano, bass and drums is about perfect for well crafted and performed compositions with the kind of space in the music that makes it inviting yet unobtrusive. Bill Evans has a reputation in this field so Moon Beams is a reliable entry into his catalogue if you...

Bill Evans
It is hard not to rate this Bill Evans CD as anything less than superb; right up there with the Vanguard series.

ONE OF THE GREATEST JAZZ BALLAD PERFORMANCES--EVER!
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 devastated 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...

Beautiful album...
This is my favorite album by the Bill Evans trio. The album "How My Heart Sings" was recorded during the same session as this album and all the ballads from the session were put on "Moonbeams". This is one of the best jazz records I can think of. "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" is an absolutely...
