Jazzwise Editor's choice - Bill Evans: Treasures

It shows the great pianist in six different settings, from solo through to orchestral. Of these, the ones I was looking forward to most were the sessions with NHØP – if anyone could rekindle some of the old Evans-LaFaro magic, the great Dane could.

EL Giradiscos - The Allman Brothers band

“The Allman Brothers Band” fue grabado en dos semanas en los Atlantic Studios de Nueva York, pero fue gestado meses atrás ya que las canciones fueron creciendo en sus primeros conciertos como banda. El blues fue una base importante, quizás la base mayor, pero no tuvieron miedo de combinarlo con country y con trabajados matices jazz.
