This album came about through a fortuitous convergence of circumstances. Shelly Manne & His Men were appearing at New York"s Village Vanguard, sharing the bill with the Bill Evans Trio. Getting Riverside"s permission to let the pianist participate, Creed Taylor set up a session at Rudy Van Gelder"s studio with Evans and Manne sharing top billing. Manne"s bass player, Monty Budwig, made up the trio. This was a busman"s holiday for Evans, who was freed from the musical parameters he had set for his then-current trio. The result is that his playing seemed lighter, freer, and more relaxed than it had for a while.
