BILL EVANS/TONY BENNETT
THE TONY BENNETT & BILL EVANS ALBUM
XRCD2

Bill Evans rarely accompanied singers. Tony Bennett's flawless ear told him that Evans' sensitivity, touch and deep harmonic wisdom would make him a perfect collaborator. Evan's lyrical, singing piano lines illuminate Bennett's supreme interpretation of lyrics.

"Overall, this fine new audiophile remastering reinforces the warmth of the sound and the rich intimacy of the two innovators, seemingly overheard in the process of pure creation." - Chip Stern.

Musicians: Tony Bennett, vocals; Bill Evans, piano.

BILL EVANS
EVERYONE DIGS BILL EVANS
XRCD

The legend of Bill Evans really begins with this album. The pianist had just spent most of 1958 with one of the major units in jazz history: the Miles Davis sextet.

His fellow musicians already knew his worth (the album title was almost literally accurate) and with this record, the jazz public began to follow their lead.
Aided by Philly Joe Jones and Sam Jones, Evans set down some of his most swinging trio sides in addition to the remarkable and haunting solo improvisation called Peace Piece.

Collectors have long recognized this album for its astonishing sound quality.
