‘Everybody Digs Bill Evans’ was Bill Evans’s second album released in early 1959, two years after his first record. The recording captures Evans at a time when he frequently played extended musical ideas using block chords. That combined with his use of pedals gave him a sound considered by critics to be innovative. Writing for Allmusic, Michael G. Nastos called the album “a landmark recording for the young pianist.” Samuel Chell of All About Jazz wrote: “With its varied tempos, rhythms and programming, Everybody Digs Bill Evans sustains interest without allowing the listener for a moment to mistake the singular, inimitable voice of the leader. It’s not hard to understand why many Evans followers list it as their favorite of the pianist’s recordings.” It was voted number 3 in the 50 All-Time Overlooked Jazz Albums from Colin Larkin’s All Time Top 1000 Albums.
