Apparently 1961 was a bit of a dud year for music as this is the only entry in the book for 1961.
Evans had made a name for himself playing with everyone from Konitz to Mingus. He was part of Miles Davis' band for Kind of Blue, then he decided to go solo.
This is some nice laidback jazz, that feels like it would go just nicely with a gin and a cigarette and your arm around a companion at the club.
I know it's Bill's album, and yes he has a brilliant touch and a lovely sound, but that bass soloing from Scott LaFaro... hot damn!
