Music reviews of Solo Sessions 2
Music Review: Very powerful, but not the best of Evans
Rating: 4 Stars
The liner notes of this disc and its companion (Vol I) are very revealing. According to Orrin Keepnews, Evans, a well-known junkie, was needing cash and was "strung-out" (coming down from his heroin high). He had never recorded a solo album, but wanted to try it. Neither Evans or Keepnews (the owner of Riverside Records and the producer of these sessions) liked the output, as it was not as polished and carefully crafted as Evans at his best. In fact, Evans made Keepnews promise to never to release these sessions, a request that Keepnews honored until well after the pianist's death.
These recordings have an emotional power that some of Evans' other recordings don't have. They are unusually raw, they are, however, uneven. There are times that Evans is struggling for ideas.
I love these recordings, and Evans never did a bad one, but these are not his best. His best solo recording is "Alone", recorded for Verve a few years later.
