Bill Evans Album [180 Gram], Bill Evans, Vinyl

The LP is remarkable in that only Evans's own compositions were recorded - three previously recorded pieces and four brand-new works. Of particular note is the melancholy ""Two Lonely People"", Evans's musical interpretation of a poem by Carol Hall. ""Sugar Plum"" and ""T.T.T."" were to remain in his repertoire right up until his very last recordings. Unusual but very commendable because it begins with an ad hoc introductory improvisation is the electric piano version of Evans's most well-known composition - ""Waltz For Debby"".The excellent technical facilities at the Columbia Studio were used to the full by Bill Evans, even though they were only recording a small ensemble. And that is why the seven numbers sound far better than most of the trio's live recordings. And as Bill Evans once said, it was with this trio that he could fulfill his musical ambitions.
