"I'm surprised no one else has turned in a review of such a great album. It's a perfect introduction to a great piano player. I was first turned on to Evans in Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue". If you love great jazz, this Verve selection is sure to please you. A kind of bebop mixed with beautiful, melancholic melodies."
Simply Great!!

"I'm not a super big jazz fan but, it's good to have a few jazz albums in ones music collection. Sorting through the usuals as Coultrane and Davis, Hancock ect..... I spotted the Bill Evans section. I stared at it vaguely recognizing the name and on a whim picked this up as a curiosity. WOW!!! What a great find! This cd says it's the best of the verve live series box set which contains 18 cd's!! Whoever went to the trouble of narrowing it down to just one 61 min cd did a great job! Now I just need to save up some pennies to get that mammoth box set cause once you have a taste of this you just have to go back for another bite!!"
