Bill Evans

DIGIPACK EDITION

INCLUDES 6 BONUS TRACKS

This release contains Bill Evan's debut album as a leader, New Jazz Conceptions, in its entirety, including an alternate version of "No Cover, No Minimum" that completes the session. The album primarily showcases Evan in a trio format, but also contains three solo piano tracks, one of which is Evan's earliest recording ever of his legendary composition "Waltz of Debby". As a bonus, a couple of rare sessions from the same period, which feature Evans as a sideman on sessions for guitarist Dick Garcia and Joe Puma.
