The complete LP Undercurrent (United Artists UAS1500), which was Bill Evans first duet collaboration with Jim Hall. In addition to the tracks from the original LP, the label has added the only two known alternate takes, as well as a full solo piano session by Evans taped just a few weeks before Undercurrent. This unaccompanied session marked the pianist s return to the recording studios after bassist Scott LaFaro s sudden death in July of 1961. Includes 12-page booklet DOWN BEAT original review This collaboration between Evans and Hall has resulted in some of the most beautiful, thoroughly ingratiating music it has been my pleasure to hear now or any other time. This music must be heard, and I cannot recommend it highly enough to jazz fans of all persuasions. You can t help but respond to this, for music of this high order knows no age or school. Real art never does. (Pete Welding)
