Bill Evans Trio - Everybody Digs Bill Evans (2010) {Analogue Productions 45rpm 180g} 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip plus CD Version

is the second record album by jazz musician Bill Evans, released in 1958. It was a trio date, recorded with Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones. Everybody Digs Bill Evans was the artist's second album, done two years after his first record as a leader. Even though his producer tried to encourage him to record again sooner, the highly self-critical Evans felt he had "nothing new to say" before this album. The recording captures Evans at a time when he was into playing block chords. That combined with his expert use of pedals gave him a fresh, distinctive sound that had never been heard before on the piano.
