봄비일까요? 추적추적 하염없이 내립니다. 겨울다운 겨울을 느끼지 못했는데, 벌써 봄이라니, 아쉽기도 하고 또 반갑기도 합니다.
오늘은  한 달 여동안 들락거리며 종종 수다를 피웠던 청년이 또 작별인사를 하고 떠나갔습니다. 다시는 마주칠 일도 없을 것이지만 왠지 인연이란 것이 이렇게 쉽게 왔다가 또 쉽게 잊혀지는 게 아쉽기도 합니다. 딱히 특별할 것도 없는 사이였는데도 불구하고, 마침 비도 오고 혼자 있으려니 마음만 쓸쓸해오고, 손에 든 책은 페이지를 넘기지 못하는 군요.
오늘 부터 다시 글을 쓰자 마음으로 다짐했건만 하루종일 끄덕끄덕 잠이 쏟아졌습니다. 긴장이 풀린 탓일까요?
이제 다시 마음을 다잡고 본연의 나의 모습으로 돌아오기를, 오늘 밤까지만, 핑계아닌 핑계를 대며 어제 만났던 빌 에반스를 듣습니다.
사실 에반스의 음반을 즐겨 듣지 않았는데 고메즈에 끌리다보니, 또 어쩔 수 없이 에반스를 만나게 되었습니다. 참 이상한 것이 에반스의 피아노 트리오인데도 불구하고 왜 저는 고메즈의 베이스 음에 자꾸 귀가 쫑긋거릴까요? 모를 일입니다. 마음이 시키는 일이라서, 제가 어쩔 수도 없고요. 그저 들리는대로 마음이 가는대로 즐길 일일 뿐입니다. 그런데 요즈음들어 또 놀라운 사실을 하나 발견했습니다. 고메즈 뿐만아니라 피아니스트 Egberto Gismonti, 멕시코 피아니스트인 Consuelo Velazques 등의 남미 쪽 연주자들의 소리에 유난히 끌리는 경향이 있더군요. 제 성향 때문인지 빙긋이 웃습니다.

The locale was Pete Douglas' Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, a second-floor, 250-seat rumpus room overlooking the Pacific near Half Moon Bay, CA, whose wood-paneled ambience and nine-foot Steinway D piano inspired some of the better live work from Evans during this period of his life. Again in his favored trio format, with bassist Eddie Gómez (who gets ample solo room) and drummer Marty Morell in totally simpatico communication, Evans gives himself opportunities to swing hard as well as traffic in his patented mode of harmonically complex introspection. Included are an excellent take on "Waltz for Debby" and a couple of contemporary pop near-standards, "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" and "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)," and the set peaks with a closing pair of elegantly swinging waltzes, "How My Heart Sings" and "Someday My Prince Will Come." The aging tape has dropouts, but the sound quality is quite acceptable in true stereo and superior to that of The Secret Sessions from this period.www.youtube.com
