The albums in this set were recorded within weeks of each other in January 1956. While there are no sound samples on this page (at the time of this review), there are on the two source albums to which I have linked. Listen to those for the style of music in this set.
The actual sound quality is excellent. Considering that these were recorded in 1956 (one live) using relatively crude techniques and technology that predated real stereo it’s surprisingly good. Whoever remastered this album knew what they were doing.
Here are the albums:
[[ASIN:B00480YNYW Evergreens]] takes up the first ten tracks that were recorded in NYC for ABC-Paramount on January 1 and 2, 1956. Taylor’s playing is simply superb as evidenced by the sound samples I cited. Of course his solid rhythm section comprised of Earl May on bass and Percy Brice on drums contribute to the music as well.
[[ASIN:B005Q5K504 At The London House]] comprises the remaining eight tracks. This album was recorded live at the London House in Chicago for ABC-Paramount on January 22, 1956 – just three weeks after Evergreens. It features the same line-up of Taylor-May-Brice and they are definitely attuned to each other. What I love about this is it has the energy that most live albums exude, but the song selection is better suited to clubs and lounges. The first track, The London House, is almost fiery, while other tracks are more pensive and what one would expect from a jazz piano trio on 1956.
This two-album set has Taylor at his peak in my opinion and is, like all of his trio albums, tight, swinging and musical.
