What a great CD. Its great hearing a young Tom Harrell tearing it up along with Larry Schnieder and of course Bill Evans. WOW!!!

This is the album that pulled me into Bill Evans' world. I dug deeper into his music and this is what brought together all of his work - all of it! Listen to 'Comrad Conrad' on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I keep hearing 'Bill's Hit Tune' in my head each time I look at the NY City skyline. It is a hour (plus) of wonderful music. Buy it!

What a satisfying album. Bill hovers over, inside and under the rest of the band with masterly, and endemically; tantalizing abstract and post-modern improvisations. Surely a "Milestone" - or a "Bill-Board"!

WOW

3 1/2

Evans' playful command is on full display even if more can often be less in terms of additional players. He is the rare player that almost always exclusively sounds greater alone, as on only a few tracks here.

The presence of saxophones, flute and trumpet spoils what could have been a superb trio tribute album to Bill's brother Harry. I find those horns so disturbing that they remind me of Yoko Ono singing in a John Lennon's album. I'm sure Lennon's fans dig what I mean.
If Bill was alive, I'd beg him to record these materials again in a trio or duo (with base) format.
