William John Evans, better known as Bill Evans, was an American jazz pianist, composer, and artist. Born on August 16, 1929 in Plainfield, New Jersey, he became one of the most famous and influential jazz pianists of the 20th century. With his innovative use of impressionist harmony and unique interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, Evans left a lasting impact on generations of musicians.

Evans' distinct style was characterized by his rhythmically independent and "singing" melodic lines. His contributions to the world of jazz music were unparalleled. Throughout his career, he showcased his immense talent as a composer and performer.

Tragically, Bill Evans passed away on September 15, 1980 in New York City at the age of 51. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his timeless recordings and continued influence on contemporary keyboardists and jazz saxophonists.

If Bill Evans brought a kind of muted, ingeniously subtle body of innovations to jazz piano, then perhaps his only parallel in the realm of jazz guitar is Jim Hall. When they joined forces for this session, they sounded fantastic, with piano and jazz falling together into a pool of streaming improvisation on mostly slow-tempo pieces. The pair hit such a high mark with this recording that it reaches the intellect and the emotions at precisely the same instant. Limited edition vinyl with ACV (Audiophile Clear Vinyl) quality. Includes two bonus tracks: "Stairway to the Stars" and "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You." Housed in a gatefold sleeve
