EVANS,BILL - HOW MY HEART SINGS Vinyl LP

Expected: 12/04/2026

BILL EVANS TRIO How My Heart Sings (Original Jazz Classics 2026 limited edition 8-track stereo LP pressed on 180 Gram Black Vinyl)

First released in 1962 on Riverside and now reissued in the superlative Original Jazz Classics series. Bill Evans's return to full activity in 1962 came almost a year after his celebrated trio recordings at the Village Vanguard. Just ten days after that classic "live" session, bassist Scott LaFaro had died in a highway accident. Evans, deeply shaken, eventually re-formed his trio with the same drummer Paul Motian, and Chuck Israels on bass. Their first visit to a studio was for a dual purpose: to make an all-ballad-tempo album, Moonbeams, and this "normal" set at the same time. It was producer Orrin Keepnews's thought that recording eight slow numbers in a row might prove unduly enervating; accordingly, the total two album repertoire was interspersed over three days of recording and the net result was two excellent additions to the Evans catalog.

This album mixes jazz standards and originals, with 'I Should Care', 'In Your Own Sweet Way' and 'Summertime' among the highlights.

Mastered all-analog from the original tapes at Cohearent Audio and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI.
