BILL EVANS - piano SCOTT LAFARO - bass PAUL MOTIAN - drums Recorded live at the Village Vanguard New York; June 25, 1961.

William John Evans was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly played in trios. His use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continues to influence jazz pianists today.
