Bill Evans Trio - How My Heart Sings!

Recorded in May and June of 1962, at the same time as the Moonbeams sessions, How My Heart Sings! shows a different side of the Bill Evans Trio than that all-ballads album. Here, the eight selections have a much more mid- and even up-tempo flair. Israel appears more comfortable in these settings to be sure, as he is the kind of bassist that relegates himself deeply into the rhythm section, sublimating himself to the pianist. In Evans' own words, the band's desire was to "provide a more singing sound" in this material.
