Undercurrent - Bill Evans and Jim Hall (1962)

March 14, 2015 in music

Undercurrent, a collaboration between Bill Evans and Jim Hall, is a beautifully telepathic marriage of piano and guitar. I connect very deeply with the music of Bill Evans and this album in particular. A poignant collection of jazz ballads, Undercurrent was recorded not quite a year after the tragic death of bassist Scott LaFaro, a member of Bill Evans' trio. Deeply devastated by LaFaro's death, Evans took a several month hiatus from his career and was left "like a ghost" according to drummer Paul Motian.

The cover photo, one of my absolute favorite photographs all time, is called 'Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida' by the incomparable Toni Frissell.
