QRP-Pressed 180g Vinyl Reissue of Bill Evans Trio’s Trio ’65 Does Full Justice to a Laid Back, Forward-Leaning & Quite Dynamic Recording

When I saw one of the latest Acoustic Sounds Series reissues of a mid-1960s Bill Evans Trio album — namely, June 1965’s Trio ’65 — I had to pause for a moment and think: Do I really need this one in my collection?

Said moment lasted about 5 seconds, as I quickly remembered that (a) there are not really any bad Bill Evans records, and (b) finding clean originals of many of his albums is not an easy task on the used market.

Trio ’65 showcases pianist Bill Evans as a career artist in a growth phase. This Acoustic Sounds Series, QRP-Pressed 180g LP reissue of a consummate Verve Records/Rudy Van Gelder classic handily answers the following question very much in the affirmative: Do I really need this version in my collection?
