Bill Evans - The Complete Bill Evans On Verve '1997

Tracks list

THE COMPLETE BILL EVANS ON VERVE is an 18-disc, 269-track box set featuring
every track that Bill Evans recorded for Verve between 1962 and 1969, including
98 previously-unreleased tracks. It includes a 160-page, full-color book. THE
COMPLETE BILL EVANS ON VERVE was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best
Recording Package - Boxed and for Best Historical Album. The 18 CDs in this
exhaustive set provide a comprehensive picture of Bill Evans from 1962 to 1969,
a period when the pianist was both consolidating his fame and sometimes taking
his music into untested waters, from unaccompanied piano to symphony orchestra.
His work with multitracked solo piano, originally released as Conversations with
Myself and the later Further Conversations with Myself, was the most remarkable
new format for his introspective music. It gave Evans a way to be all the
pianists he could be at once–combining densely chordal, harmonically
oblique parts with surprising, rhythmic punctuation and darting, exploratory
runs.
