Evans Bill (Trio) - Legendary Bill Evans Trio

Facts Three CD set containing five albums from the Jazz great and his trio. Bill Evans co-wrote 'Kind Of Blue' with Miles Davis and is regarded by many as the most influential jazz pianist of his generation. The trio he formed in 1959 with the brilliant, ill-fated young bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motion is surely as fine as any in jazz history. This set compiles almost everything this Evans trio recorded; The two miraculous studio albums, Portrait In Jazz and Explorations; the intimate live sets recorded in New York in the summer of 1961, Sunday Night At The Village Vanguard and Waltz For Debby. These masterpieces are complimented by the Birdland sessions - an earlier musical document of the trio in an authentic club setting - with disc three completed by their first recordings together, with the jazz clarinetist Tony Scott.
