Review by Scott Yanow
Other than four piano solos from April 4, 1962, this set was pianist Bill Evans' first recordings after a hiatus caused by bassist Scott LaFaro's tragic death in a car accident. The first of two meetings on record in a duo format with guitarist Jim Hall, the collaborations are often exquisite. Both Evans and Hall had introspective and harmonically advanced styles along with roots in hard-swinging bebop. There is more variety than expected on the fine set with some cookers, ballads, waltzes, and even some hints at classical music. Recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Aparte de cuatro solos de piano del 4 de abril de 1962, este conjunto fue la primera grabación del pianista Bill Evans tras un paréntesis causado por la trágica muerte del bajista Scott LaFaro en un accidente de coche. El primero de los dos encuentros en disco en formato dúo con el guitarrista Jim Hall, las colaboraciones son a menudo exquisitas. Tanto Evans como Hall tenían estilos introspectivos y armónicamente avanzados junto con raíces en el bebop duro. Hay más variedad de la esperada en el buen conjunto con algunos cocineros, baladas, valses, e incluso algunos guiños a la música clásica. Recomendado.
