Mientras lees a Wittgenstein, el místico...

Podria enunciar unas cuantas opiniones que me merece este disco, sin embargo, dejemos que hable al Sr. Evans:"Perhaps the hours of greatest pleasure in my life have come about as a result of the capacity of the piano to be in itself a complete expressive musical medium. In retrospective, I think that these countless hours of aloneness with that music unified the directive energy of my life. At those times when i have achieved this sense of oneness while playing alone, the music happened of themselves with positive rightness which always served to remind me that to understand music most profuondly one only has to be listening well. Perhaps it is a peculiarity of mine that despite the fact that I am a professional performer, it is true that i have always preferred playin without an audience. This has nothing to do with my desire to communicate or not, but rather I thind just a problem of personal self-consciousness which had to be conquered through discipline and concentration. Yet, to know one is truly alone with one´s instrument an music has always been an attractive and coducive situation for me to find my best playing level. Therefore, what I desired to present in a solo piano recording was especially this unique feelinf. As you can readily see from the length of the tracks, I did get involved perhaps most successfully in "Never Let Me Go". It is difficult to make a qualitatove judgment, however, since one always must be wary of falling prey to indulgence ia a too subjective feeling unsupported by musical content. My solo piano professional experience has been negligible and it is sad that this great tradition injazz is in danger of extinction because of the prevalent public attitude relegatin a single pianist to background for conversation or dinner. Therefore, I hope that my playing has sufficient merit to carry the listener without distraction to the musical feelin I have strived to accomplish in these recorded performances."
