Product Description

"Bill Evans, a luminary in the jazz world, presents "The Brilliant," a captivating collection of tracks that showcase his mastery over various jazz styles, from cool jazz to hard bop. Released on January 1, 1990, under Timeless Records, this album is a testament to Evans' enduring influence and innovative spirit.

"The Brilliant" is a concise yet impactful journey through seven tracks, each offering a unique blend of Evans' signature piano playing and compositional prowess. The album opens with "Laurie," a tender and introspective piece that sets the tone for the rest of the record. "Letter To Evan" and "Mornin' Glory" follow, showcasing Evans' ability to weave intricate melodies and harmonies with ease.

The album also features a rendition of the iconic "Theme From M.A.S.H," demonstrating Evans' versatility and knack for putting his own spin on well-known tunes. "Up With The Lark," "Gary's Theme," and "Bill's Hit Tune" are all original compositions that highlight Evans' compositional skills and his ability to create memorable, engaging music.

Closing the album is "Knit For Mary F.," a piece that encapsulates the essence of Evans' music—thoughtful, expressive, and brimming with technical brilliance. With a runtime of just over 51 minutes, "The Brilliant" is a compact yet powerful addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection. It's a snapshot of Bill Evans' genius, capturing his ability to blend technical skill with deep emotional resonance."

This 2024 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Gorgeous Album, Bass Needs Work

    4 out of 5 stars
    THfuogvuec30 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    From a musical standpoint, this album is absolutely gorgeous. I do feel the recording could use some improvement in the bass department. The packaging, however, is top-notch.

  • Bill Evans Masterpiece Must-Have

    5 out of 5 stars
    Pejhfzaksdelqftas31 March 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    I'm at a loss as to why this hasn't been reviewed by any of you amazing folks yet! Another masterpiece from the MoV series, in my opinion. I also grabbed Cedar Waltons Eastern Rebellion from the same label a while back, and it sounded gorgeous too! This is absolutely fabulous!! and I can't figure out why it's not in high demand and sold out?! Only 750 copies "supposedly". The cover is stunning, with a hard, textured cardboard feel. It's clearly a digital artwork but it's detailed, crisp, and not overdone at all. NOT a single pop or crackle and it's gold colored!?!?!? Made in the EU, though I have no clue where exactly. Perfect value for money, with an uplifting performance from Bill, considering he was so close to the end (he passed away just 8 days later!!!!). The version of MASH is uplifting and bright, quite different from You Must Believe in Spring. I'm incredibly happy with this, and if you're a Bill Evans fan, you gotta have this! It's wonderful!

  • Piano's High Notes Warped

    3 out of 5 stars
    Xyazel22 March 2025United States🇺🇸

    The higher notes on the piano come out all warped, but apart from that, it's fine.

  • Bill's Fantastic, Punchy Performance

    4 out of 5 stars
    PUBJ57_736 July 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Bill's performance here is absolutely fantastic, though the mix is a tad quiet, it's got plenty of punch to bring it to life 🔥 It's so personal and tender, I'm loving it!

  • Evans' Timeless Trio Brilliance

    5 out of 5 stars
    xuwoqoloms11 April 2024United States🇺🇸

    Amazing sound quality and a gorgeous presentation. This one's a definite keeper. It's a departure from his earlier works but showcases a classic piano, bass, and drums trio sound. Bill Evans was an incredibly gifted artist, even in his later years.
