A real treasure trove of music from the legendary
Bill Evans – the complete recordings the pianist made for Verve Records in the 60s, including trio sessions, solo material, and interesting larger projects as well – plus alternate takes, unissued material, and lots more gems!
Evans hit Verve at the height of his powers – already coming off important early records for the Riverside label, and working with Verve with superb recording quality, and great care for
Evans as an artist – which allowed
Bill to further flower in his familiar trio setting, and also try out solo recordings, and work with other co-leaders who include arranger Gary McFarland, tenorist
Stan Getz, guitarist Jim Hall, and singer Monica Zetterlund – all of whom work closely with
Evans on a session. The box features remastering for all sides, and includes over 250 tracks in a really overstuffed package!
