Bill Evans's poetic piano spoke directly from his soul to the hearts of listeners around the world. Nobody played a ballad more exquisitely than did Evans (1929-1980), who, like trumpeter Miles Davis (his former employer), tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, and singers Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, seemed to reach inside a melody and distill its very essence. These eleven performances, recorded during Evans's first golden age, when he truly found his profoundly lyrical voice, were recorded between 1956 and 1963. All but one ("Easy to Love", for solo piano) are trios, with six made by the group Evans led from 1959 to 1961, with the great bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. Together, they reinvented not only the concept of the piano, bass, and drums unit, but of collective improvisation.

Concord counters 2005's Bill Evans for Lovers on Verve with this ballad collection, Bill Evans Plays for Lovers, from the pianist's late 1950s and early 1960s Riverside catalog. While there isn't anything here especially for devoted fans, who more than likely have all of this material a couple of times over, it's a great introduction to Evans for the novice. These nine cuts offer a fine retrospective of the pianist's trademark ballad style. Six tracks feature Evans in his classic trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and the rest showcase him in the company of bassists like Chuck Israels, Sam Jones, and Teddy Kotick, while Philly Joe Jones makes an appearance on the closer, "Young and Foolish." It's in the music made with LaFaro, though, that Evans reveals himself deeply. His then-controversial classicism -- which brought the shades and chord voicings of everyone from Debussy and Ravel to Erik Satie and Darius Milhaud to the jazz idiom -- are still revelatory in what they bring to the gentle, swinging introspection of tunes like "Haunted Heart," "Spring Is Here," "Blue in Green," and "I Wish I Knew." For the price, this set can't really be beat. And for those seasoned listeners who are looking for a prime ballad compilation, this one fits the bill nicely.
