Description
His playing on “West Coast Ghost” (the album’s stand-out track) and “Celia” are two examples of Evans’ ability to understand an artist’s musical vision and play accordingly in his own beautifully original style.
“East Coasting” sounds like the prototypical 1950s jazz recording. It’s something one would hear in an attic converted to a bedroom where an artist or lonely soul might live. It’s what a lot of people might believe Jazz would or should sound like. Highly recommended to Jazz lovers and perhaps more importantly to young people who have just been blown away by Kerouac’s novel “On The Road” and have become interested in exploring Jazz. “East Coasting” will allow them to get a taste of lost creative America.
Recording: August 1957 in New York City in mono
