This collection may not be the "essential" Bill Evans; such a distillation is as elusive for the restlessly creative and profoundly influential pianist as it would be for Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, or John Coltrane. But you can be sure a great deal of deliberation went into the selection of tunes and performances that would represent certain essential elements of his repertoire, various collaborations, and evolving artistic approach. - from the liner notes by Derk Richardson
