Bill Evans The Riverside Recordings 180g 45RPM 22LP Box Set from Analogue Productions
Limited to Just 1500 Numbered Copies!
Cut from the Original Tapes by Kevin Gray and Pressed at Pallas in Germany
All of the Legendary Pianist's Finest Albums in the Best Possible Sound
The Best Jazz LP Box Ever? Quite Possibly: Don't Wait!
Merely saying that Bill Evans ranks as one of jazz's premier icons doesn't begin to do the pianist justice. Profoundly influential, his signature rhythmic melodic lines and classically inspired impressionistic touches redefined how the instrument was played and perceived. Yet the only thing that convincingly describes his legacy and importance is his music. With Evans, words aren't enough. The proof lies in his incredible recordings, long celebrated for their sonic fidelity and unsurpassed passion. Audiophiles have prized vinyl pressings of Evans standards such as Moonbeams for decades, quickly snapping up specialized pressings that demand hundreds of dollars on the aftermarket.
Now, Evans' very finest albums: New Jazz Conceptions, Everybody Digs Bill Evans, Portrait In Jazz, Explorations, Sunday At The Village Vanguard, Waltz For Debby, Moonbeams, Interplay, How My Heart Sings!, and At Shelly's Manne-Hole, are being made available in an extremely limited, absolutely definitive 180g 45RPM 22LP box set from Analogue Productions. In addition, Cannonball Adderley's Know What I Mean? is also included, given Evans' magnificent role on the album. The one of a kind set features a who's who of fellow jazz giants that includes Sam Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Percy Heath, Paul Motian, Jim Hall, and Scott LaFaro among others.
Cut from the original tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at Pallas in Germany, each album also features facsimiles of each original jacket along with an 18-page booklet detailing Evans' career and the Riverside era. Limited to just 1500 numbered copies!
All of Analogue Productions' prior 45RPM pressings of Evans' albums garnered international acclaim and stand as the label's all-time best sellers. These will sell out quickly so secure your copy of this exquisite collectible and enjoy timeless jazz in unprecedented fidelity for the rest of your lifetime.
