This was Evans' final album for Riverside, the label that first brought his genius to light, and his last chapter in one of the most creative partnerships in modern jazz recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaptured live at drummer Shelly Manne's famous Hollywood club in 1963, the album finds Evans in rare form — intimate, reflective, yet full of quiet fire. It's only the second time Riverside ever caught him in a live setting (the first being the legendary Village Vanguard sessions), and it documents a fleeting but brilliant trio: Evans with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sound is wonderfully alive — you can feel the room, the energy, the warmth of an audience hanging on every note. For collectors, this is the bridge between Evans' early introspection and the confident, searching tone of his later work. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.acousticsounds.com\/d\/16914\/Bill_Evans_Trio-At_Shellys_Manne-Hole-45_RPM_Vinyl_Record?gad_source=1\u0026amp;gad_campaignid=21514249854\u0026amp;gbraid=0AAAAAD_pEb_IqeVx3lVFvTTE4HOvLMjVD\u0026amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsMCU78CSlAMV_5pmAh3WxQ-0EAAYASAAEgIRqfD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabel\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian lineup of the Bill Evans Trio is generally considered to be the strongest, Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker make a strong case of their own on \u003cem\u003eAt Shelly's Manne-Hole\u003c\/em\u003e, a 1964 release that finds the entire band in classic form. This particular trio may lack some of the sheer combustive force of the better-known lineup, but it is, if possible, even more sensitive, melancholic, and nostalgic than the previous band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"\" height=\"\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1745742796\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=3583861831\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leadoff track, \"Isn't It Romantic,\" is one of Evans' finest moments, with the gently swinging theme leading into a strong, if restrained, solo from Israels. Over Bunker's sensitive brush work, Evans comments briefly and beautifully on the theme before returning to the head. The band's readings of such classics as \"'Round Midnight,\" \"Stella By Starlight,\" and \"All the Things You Are\" are wonderful, but it is the lesser-known tracks, such as \"Swedish Pastry\" and the aforementioned \"Isn't It Romantic,\" that makes this recording so valuable. Jazz is rarely as sensitive or as melodic as this. Another classic from Bill Evans and company. – (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/at-shellys-manne-hole-live-in-hollywood-ca-may-14-19-1963--mw0000204082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAll Music\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/10THeeosJsuhMCPx6j95iH?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 Isn't It Romantic\u003cbr\u003eA2 The Boy Next Door\u003cbr\u003eA3 Wonder Why\u003cbr\u003eA4 Swedish Pastry\u003cbr\u003eB1 Our Love Is Here To Stay\u003cbr\u003eB2 'Round Midnight\u003cbr\u003eB3 Stella By Starlight\u003cbr\u003eB4 Blues In \"F\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Analogue Productions \/\/ Riverside Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, 12\", 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Originally Released: 1966\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Cool Jazz, Modal, Post Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Bill Evans\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions \/ Riverside","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46770455412894,"sku":"753088948718","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a2240094767_10.jpg?v=1777448321","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/the-bill-evans-trio-at-shellys-manne-hole-analogue-productions-45rpm-reissue","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
