Quiet Now is an album by jazz pianist Bill Evans, recorded in 1969. It was released in 1981 on the Affinity label. The same recordings were officially released in 2021 in cooperation with the Bill Evans estate as part of the album Behind The Dikes.

In 1999, Polygram issued a compilation titled Quiet Now: Never Let Me Go which, aside from the title track, has a completely different track listing.

Reception

“Quiet Now is a bit too workmanlike to be one of the greatest Bill Evans Trio releases — it’s more solidly competent than divinely inspired, but Evans’ playing, as always, is marvelous.” – Stewart Mason/AlMusic.
