Chuck Israels replaces LaFaro, playing more of an accompanist’s role than was Scott’s style, and Paul Motian resumes his drumming duties with the trio. This lineup produced material for two albums that would be amongst Evans’s most popular. Moonbeams includes ballads from the ’62 sessions, which also yielded the more upbeat How My Heart Sings that same year. Moonbeams captures some of Evans’s most introspective playing, his sense of loss evident but soothed by Israels’s empathetic performances. Evans also expresses his lyricism underlaid with rhythmic firmness, even in the extraordinarily slow “Love in Vain.” Artist Bill Evans Trio Label Craft Recordings Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United States of America Track Listings Re: Person I Knew Polka Dots and Moonbeams I Fall in Love Too Easily Stairway to the Stars If You Could See Me Now It Might as Well Be Spring In Love in Vain Very Early Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email
