Bill Evans was always at home onstage.

Dobbiamo ringraziare la determinazione e la perseveranza di Zev Feldman, inesausto ricercatore di perle musicali dei grandi del jazz, pubblicate con fierezza dalla Resonance Records. Lo scavo assiduo riguarda in particolare Bill Evans, del quale sono già comparsi alcuni dischi con concerti inediti, cui si aggiunge questo Live at Ronnie Scott's che documenta esibizioni nel celebre club londinese del luglio 1968, quando per un breve periodo il trio di Evans era composto da Eddie Gomez e Jack DeJohnette.

Bill Evans: Live At Ronnie Scott's brings to mind the phrase “on the shoulders of giants." Evans's stature in jazz history is unassailable, his influence having touched much of the music's subsequent trajectories, while also establishing a new, discernable branch of the jazz tree traceable to the present-day. A two-disc package, Bill Evans: Live at Ronnie Scott's captures the relatively brief trio configuration of Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette in the natural setting of a live club performance.

William, oh William, it was really nothing—but an all—Bill all the time podcast! At Mike's suggestion, this round's musicians are all named Bill. Heck, half of them are white guys named Bill Evans who gigged with Miles Davis. How's that for homogeneity? Don't fret—the other Bills at this party bring heavy-gauge avant credentials to balance things out. Pop matters swerves all over the road, ranging from The Negro Problem to Shaun Colvin.
