Dave Nanian<p>Shelly Manne/Bill Evans - Empathy</p><p>The first time I listened to this I was taken aback…Evans isn't usually this playful, but in this session with Manne (and Monty Budwig on bass), everyone's cutting loose.</p><p>Turns out this 1962 session was recorded when they were sharing a bill at the Village Vanguard. Riverside let Evans record for Verge, and there you go…one-off, and fun.</p><p>New Verve Record Club release.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/nowplaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nowplaying</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vinyl</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/BillEvans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BillEvans</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ShellyManne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShellyManne</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MontyBudwig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MontyBudwig</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ververecords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ververecords</span></a></p>
