Bill Evans • Crosscurrents

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This superior set was a logical idea. One of pianist Bill Evans' earlier influences was Lennie Tristano, so for this date, Evans' trio (with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Eliot Zigmund) was teamed with Tristano's two top "students": altoist Lee Konitz and tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh. The quintet performs four standards (all of which fit easily into Evans' repertoire) plus "Pensativa" and Steve Swallow's "Eiderdown." Konitz and Marsh always worked very well together and their cool-toned improvising makes this outing by Bill Evans something special. Recommended.

Crítica de Scott Yanow
Este conjunto superior era una idea lógica. Una de las primeras influencias del pianista Bill Evans fue Lennie Tristano, así que para esta fecha, el trío de Evans (con el bajista Eddie Gómez y el batería Eliot Zigmund) se asoció con los dos mejores «alumnos» de Tristano: el contralto Lee Konitz y el saxofonista tenor Warne Marsh. El quinteto interpreta cuatro estándares (todos los cuales encajan fácilmente en el repertorio de Evans) más «Pensativa» y «Eiderdown» de Steve Swallow. Konitz y Marsh siempre trabajaron muy bien juntos y su fresca improvisación hace de esta salida de Bill Evans algo especial. Recomendado.
