Description
An impressive new recording by David Schollmeyer in surround sound SACD, featuring the music of the legendary Bill Evans - jazz performed on the organ!
Schollmeyer has selected pieces from all the creative periods
of this unique jazz pianist. Along with an illuminating overview of Evan's oeuvre, the result is an engaging organ portrait on Schollmeyer's "home organ" in Bremerhaven.
Evans's outstanding skills as a pianist often inspired admiration; they were expressed not so much in artistic virtuosity as in his extremely fine sense of sound. His magnificent solos were mostly limited to one part, and here the saxophonist Lee Konitz was his great model. The organ restores the wind character to these improvisations – for many a jazz fan, an interesting performance.
In the 3-D sound picture on this Super Audio CD, this unusual program spreads out a genuine audiophile feast for the ears.
