Wax Love present a reissue of Moon Beams, recorded by Bill Evans Trio in 1962. Following the untimely death of his beloved bassist, Scott Le Faro, Bill Evans was despondent, taking a several month hiatus from performing. Moon Beams was the first Bill Evans Trio album recorded and released with new bassist, Chuck Israels, and a beautiful return to form. Comprised of gorgeous ballads, Moon Beams title is perfectly apt, a late night dream-like album that subdues the listener. Truly gorgeous piano jazz from the absolute master of the trio.

The Bill Evans Trio, live at Birdland, 1960. This is an essential document of Bill Evans's quintessential trio performing at its peak. Evans showcases his unique sensitivity at the piano throughout, while Scott La Faro displays breathtaking virtuosity on his bass, and near-telepathy with drummer Paul Motian. La Faro's tragic death a year later would profoundly affect Evans and his music, making these historically vital performances indispensable for jazz fans. Recorded over various dates: March 12th, 1960 (tracks 1-3), March 19th, 1690 (tracks 4 and 5), April 30th, 1960 (tracks 6-9), and May 7th, 1960 (tracks 10-12). Originally recorded for radio broadcast, the entire broadcast is presented here, digitally remastered, with background notes and images.
