Although all eight of the selections heard on this Verve release have been recorded on other occasions by pianist Bill Evans, these renditions hold their own. Teamed up with bassist
Chuck Israels
and drummer
Larry Bunker
(his regular trio of 1963-1965), Evans plays definitive versions of such songs as
Johnny Carisi
's &Israel,& &How My Heart Sings,& &Who Can I Turn To,& and &If You Could See Me Now.&
