If you question why this is considered such a great recording, then you just don't get it. That's not a bad thing. Remember it is all subjective. If you can listen to "My Mans Gone Now" and not see the greatness, you really do not get it. Again, that's OK. For me, this album is much better than "King of Blue". I have always considered it overrated.
Village Vanguard session with Bill Evans
Hi folks, could you explain why the Village Vanguard recording with Bill Evans is so famous? What qualities does it possess?
I'm asking this question because I can't explain why the recording is so great. If I'm listening to Kind of Blue with Miles Davis quintet I can understand why it is a famous recording. It is because it has an almost Zen quality to it: the timing was perfect and also the organization of the music --> the musicians played the right notes at the right place. There were no redundant notes.
