Bill Evans - Interplay (LP)

This release presents the complete original Bill Evans album Interplay (Riverside RLP9445). The dates showcased the pianist with a number of great players, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. As the original producer Orrin Keepnews stated, Evans’ first trumpet choice had been Art Farmer, who was unavailable (in addition to collaborations on other projects as sidemen with big bands, they had recorded the superb quintet album Modern Art together in 1958)
