Bill Evans stands as one of the most celebrated pianists in jazz history, renowned for his introspective touch, harmonic sophistication, and deeply emotional playing style. Smile With Your Heart: The Best of Bill Evans on Resonance draws from four remarkable collections of previously unheard recordings released by Resonance Records, including live performances captured at New York's Top of the Gate, a lost session from the Black Forest, the Hilversum Concert, and a performance recorded in England.
This compilation offers a rare opportunity to experience Bill Evans in candid, intimate settings that were unknown to the public for decades before Resonance brought them to light. Spanning multiple live recordings and lost sessions, the album paints a rich portrait of Evans at his most natural and unguarded, making it a meaningful addition for fans of lyrical jazz piano and admirers of his enduring legacy.
