Bill Evans Trio Live ... LP Verve, 1964. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Warmly wonderful live work from Bill Evans' mid 60s run for Verve – a record that was originally recorded in 1964, but sat in the can until the early 70s – then just quietly issued on the market with a bit less fanfare! That somewhat subtle history shouldn't mark the album, though ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
