Praise for the Riverside Recordings LP Box Set from Analogue Productions:
These are, for the most part, extraordinary-sounding recordings, better than any youre likely to find. If you love the music, you should consider the purchase. Fred Kaplan, Stereophile, Nov. 1, 2017
Bill Evans recordings almost always received good to excellent sound, and the Analogue Productions reissues are no exception. The 45 rpm reissues are more musical and transparent; instruments have greater three-dimensionality and frequency extremes, especially lower octaves, exhibit greater resolution and impact. Get them before theyre sold out! Myles Astor, Positive-Feedback Online, Issue 34
Of everything Analogue Productions has reissued, few titles have sparked the accolades accorded our 45 RPM versions of Bill Evans titles from his Riverside catalog. Now, were breaking the titles out from that terrific set for individual sale. These are the audiophile jazz fans definitive releases for your collection!
For jazz collectors, At Shellys Manne-Hole isnt just another Bill Evans record its a landmark. This was Evans final album for Riverside, the label that first brought his genius to light, and his last chapter in one of the most creative partnerships in modern jazz recording.
Captured live at drummer Shelly Mannes famous Hollywood club in 1963, the album finds Evans in rare form intimate, reflective, yet full of quiet fire. Its only the second time Riverside ever caught him in a live setting (the first being the legendary Village Vanguard sessions), and it documents a fleeting but brilliant trio: Evans with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker.
The sound is wonderfully alive you can feel the room, the energy, the warmth of an audience hanging on every note. For collectors, this is the bridge between Evans early introspection and the confident, searching tone of his later work.
Musicians:
Bill Evans, piano
Chuck Israels, bass
