Music reviews of You Must Believe in Spring
Music Review: A Great Album, Remastered
Rating: 5 Stars
"You Must Believe in Spring" is a long-established masterpiece in the catalogue of Bill Evans. With one of his least-appreciated trios, he crafted a gem of an album, harkening back to "Moonbeams" and "The Bill Evans Album" in that it works as a unified collection of songs, as opposed to the slapdash compilation of warhorses that is "Trio '65" (which offers its own, different delights).
Evans was one of the few jazz artists who made great albums, in every sense of the word. He had great concepts, and here he put his mind to work, coming up with seven songs that interrelate thematically and emotionally.
The band is woefully underrated: Eddie Gomez at the end of his eleven-year tenure as Bill's bass man, making some of the most sensitive comments of all his recordings with the trio. He had really matured by the time they recorded "I Will Say Goodbye" for Fantasy. His work here is golden, just golden. Eliot Zigmund was one of the percussionists most keyed in with Evans' time sensibilities. He could really break up the tempo and displace accents and rhythms effectively. This was a tight group that should have had a couple more sessions together.
As for the bonus tracks, I am thrilled to death that they were included! True, like the reviewer below stated, they are not thematically in tune with the rest of the album, but why would you not want to hear an exciting trio stretching out at length and playing some great jazz? Indeed, these tracks are some of the closest Evans ever got to jamming late in his career: free-wheeling, uptempo, exciting! AND, you get to hear him play a blues! No complaints here! If you don't like 'em, stop the CD after "Theme from M*A*S*H." That's all there is to it.
