�Not everybody as the album cover claims, but certainly an ever-enlarging audience is digging Evans and with good reason. He is an authoritative pianist with a superb sense of melodic and harmonic invention. His kind of lyrical rummaging about, which so often ends in blind alleys with lesser pianists, is brought off by Evans' remarkable capacity for working out large melodic structures that hang together as though they had been presketched on paper. Small wonder that the men who work with Evans offer the highest praise for him; familiarity with his work breeds nothing but respect.�
