Essence of Evans,
By
This review is from: Quintessence (Audio CD)
Tour de Force with some of jazz's greatest musicians. Kenny Burrell, Ray Brown, Bill Evans, Philly Joe Jones. Plenty of Bill on the keys and Ray on the bass strings. Quintessence sounds slightly like Vince Guaraldi's band but with more force and greater repetoire. This is a special album and a must for fans of Bill Evans or fans of the other fine musicians present here.

This review is from: Quintessence (Audio CD)
Quintessence is the album I would choose to listen to of all others if I was told, "you have one jazz album to select if stranded on a desert isle" -- or for life! Evans breaks from many of his standards, and from the group of people he played with for longer stretches, and comes up with an absolute beauty. Don't buy another jazz album until you have bought Quintessence. You will want to buy a copy for every jazz friend!

This review is from: Quintessence (Audio CD)
Often underrated, this great album shows Evans at his maturity. He is back to his swinging roots with Ray Brown,the idol of all bassists that ever played with Evans and his all-time favorite drummer Philly Joe Jones.Harold Land is a tenor giant not heard often enough since his Clifford Brown-Max Roach days and his lyrical style fits well with Evans. Kenny Burrell is at his best on this album,especially on "Child is Born" and that is saying a lot.
In one of his interviews Bill pointed out his love for playing with horns and accompanying other soloists and cited this album as one of his all-time favorites. He confessed to not liking to listen to his own records except for few special ones and included Quintessence on this short list So, disregard the negative comments of one of the "experts" here. If you love Evans and if you love mature, swinging jazz, don't hesitate giving Quintessence a chance to enrich your life.
