The cover of Everybody Digs Bills Evans says it all– glowing quotes from jazz legends like Miles Davis, George Shearing, and Ahmad Jamal stretch across the album cover, underscoring the bold title of this jazz pianist’s solo album. Evans plays with a sense of space and touch that made him one of the most revered jazz pianists of his era and landed him numerous session gigs on plenty of iconic jazz albums over the years (including Miles Davis’ Some Kind of Blue). Pure musicianship of the highest order from a man who understood the piano like few ever have. One listen and it’s pretty clear why so many of the greats couldn’t stop singing his praises.
Standout Songs: “Lucky To Be Me”, “Young and Foolish”, “Peace Piece”
