Bill Evans at the Vanguard was always a gas. - Donald Fagen ヴァンガードのビル・エヴァンスは、いつだって最高だった。ドナルド・フェイゲン


Complete Village Vanguard Recordings 1961 - Bill Evans

" Bill Evans at the Vanguard was always a gas. Those familiar only with his studio recordings don’t realize what a spry, funky hard-charger he co uld be on “up” material in a live setting. When he played quirky tunes like “Little Lulu,” he could be funny, too. Of course, even then, he rarely shifted out of that posture you see in photo s, doubled over at the waist, head inside the piano as if trying to locate a rattly string. By th e late seventies, I noticed that this quintessentia l modernist had developed an odd, loping shuffle in h is right-hand lines, as if he was regressing to an antiquated rhythmic style dating back to Will ie Smith’s day. What was up with that? " by Eminent Hipsters: Donald Fagen

" ヴァンガードのビル・エヴァンスは、いつだって最高だった。彼のスタジオ・レコーディングしか知らない人は、ライブという場で「あがる」曲をやっていた時の彼が、どれだけエネルギッシュで、ファンキーな攻め手だったかがわかっていない。 " by ヒップの極意 EMINENT HIPSTERS ドナルド・フェイゲン
