"At Shelly's Manne-Hole" is a live album by American jazz pianist Bill Evans, released in 1969. It features recording from performances Evans made with his trio in 1969 at Shelley's Manne-Hole in Hollywood. This album marks the last recording by the Bill Evans Trio with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell, as the trio would dissolve later that year.
Bill Evans is an acclaimed figure in the post-bop sound, known for his intricate, emotive playing style. This particular record is identifiable with the pianist's predominant musical themes, though it plays more with upbeat tempos and is less introspective than many of his earlier works. The track list covers a diverse range of standards from the American songbook providing a distinct blend of jazz variations.
The album was not originally received as warmly as some of his previous works due to its deviation from the usual introspective sound Bill Evans is known for. However, it's now seen as a masterful collection where the pianist's emotions and technical skill meet on common ground. The trio's version of 'Round Midnight' from this album is noted for its elegance and interplay.
