After Hours

Bill Evans. Summertime

It took me quite a while to start liking Bill Evans. I found his stuff lacking in energy and all too soon, it would blend into the background and I'd be bored with it. But after I took the time to actually listen to what was going on, I began to appreciate him. These days, I really dig much of his sixties-era recordings. I'm not too hot on his music from the seventies (he wore leisure suits back then), but I'm sure that there's a lot of good stuff in there. It's all a matter of spending time with Bill.
