This double album includes 93 minutes of never- before-heard studio recordings by the great Bill Evans with captivating performances by Evans in solo, duo and trio settings. It is one of the most extraordinary musical archeological finds. The recordings on this album constitute the material from a June 20th, 1968 session recorded by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS) and Joachim-Ernst Brendt in Germany’s Black Forest that was originally intended for release on HGBS’s legendary MPS label but for some reason were never released. This is no ordinary recording. It’s a remarkable document of an under-represented period in the career of one of the icons of Jazz.
