Here"s where it all began for the great Jazz pianist Bill Evans. Historic mid-"50s recordings made as band leader plus sessions with guitarist Dick Garcia, composer George Russell, Chicago torch-singer Lucy Reed and the eclectic clarinetist Tony Scott. The six recordings included here with the George Russell Smalltet are scarce and are some of the most important and desirable in Jazz. The Dick Garcia and Tony Scott numbers are long out of print and are serious collectables. Bill Evans is a true Jazz legend (he played piano with the Miles Davis Group that made Kind Of Blue and there is no greater Jazz pedigree than that! Fivefour. 2007.
