Oldies but goodies

"I am a fan of old standards,(30s,40s,50s)done in a manner that allows me to relax and reflect. Evans does a great job in providing the musical surroundings that fit me to a tee. A man who plays in a style where you can almost feel his pain,as he laments his predicament of life feeling helpless to do anything but give into the drugs that affected his life as a musician. "Spring is Here", is an example of of this lament. Opening with a command of the simple yet clear deminished chords of lamenting opening to restrained the brighter chords that say to me that he understands the newness that Spring promises, to others but not to him. If you are one who looks for a recording to cogitate with but not be overwhelmed in the process this is a great album for you.
