Everybody Digs Bill Evans

Very smart clean vinyl with a good cover still in shrink.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans is an album by jazz musician Bill Evans. It was released in early 1959 on the Riverside label.

Everybody Digs Bill Evans was the artist's second album, done two years after his first record as a leader. Even though his producer (Orrin Keepnews) tried to encourage him to record again sooner, the highly self-critical Evans felt he had "nothing new to say" before this album.  

The recording captures Evans at a time when he was into playing block chords. That combined with his expert use of pedals gave him a fresh, distinctive sound that had never been heard before on the piano.
