Bill Evans

• DOUBLE CD DIGIPACK EDITION

The emerging credo of western society’s post-Beat counterculture was egalitarian and anti-hierarchical, be the hierarchy social, political or on the bandstand. Evans and Ayler shared the belief; only their lexicons were different. If hearing Spiritual Unity was akin, as Ted Joans wrote, to someone shouting “Fuck!” in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, listening to Evans still feels like being bathed in holy water. - Chris May
