RICHARD BEIRACH
Eon
1975 U.S. pressing

A stellar early evening slice of cool #jazz .

It would make sense that I really love this record, seeing that I’m a fan of Bill Evans. There’s some similarities here in the music, but BEIRACH stretches things out into a more atmospheric and pensive direction in some spots.
It’s far more romantic sounding and less in-your-face as some of Bill’s recordings.

There’s a 12 minute version of Miles Davis’ “Nardis”, another piece that was long associated with Evans.
Here, it comes off very hypnotic.

Eon is a very underrated album from that whole mid-#70s ECM period.
A perfect ‘unwinding in the early evening’ kind of record.

Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday after a walk in the spring sun with Eon is an album by American jazz pianist and composer Richard Beirach recorded in November 1974 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features rhythm section Frank Tusa and Jeff Williams.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

Eon was the first album under the New York-born Richard Beirach’s name, and arguably still his best. Its balance of rhythm, melody, and reflection epitomizes the piano trio format, and nowhere more so than “Nardis” (Davis/Evans), the 14-minute epic that opens this set of six progressively far-reaching tunes. ECM listeners may recognize its lovely vamp as performed by Ralph Towner on his unparalleled Solo Concert of 1979. Here, it glows under a full and vibrant touch...
