Review by Scott Yanow
This long-lost session, not released initially until 1982, features pianist Bill Evans, tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Philly Joe Jones interpreting seven of the pianist's recent originals. Due to some difficulties during the recording process (none of the sidemen were familiar with the often complex numbers), the results were originally shelved and lost for a couple of decades. This CD reissue shows that the music was actually much better than originally thought. While "Time Remembered," "Funkallero," and "My Bells" would become Evans standards, it is quite interesting to hear such forgotten obscurities as "Loose Bloose" (heard in two versions), "There Came You," "Fun Ride," and "Fudgesickle Built for Four"; a couple of the songs could stand to be revived. It is a pity that Evans and Sims (a logical combination) never did record together again.

Esta
sesión perdida, que no se lanzó inicialmente hasta 1982, cuenta con el
pianista Bill Evans, el saxofonista Zoot Sims, el guitarrista Jim Hall,
el bajista Ron Carter y el baterista Philly Joe Jones interpretando
siete de los originales originales del pianista. Debido
a algunas dificultades durante el proceso de grabación (ninguno de los
sidemen estaba familiarizado con los números a menudo complejos), los
resultados originalmente se archivaron y se perdieron durante un par de
décadas. Esta reedición de CD muestra que la música era en realidad mucho mejor de lo que se pensaba originalmente. Mientras
que "Time Remembered", "Funkallero" y "My Bells" se convertirían en
estándares de Evans, es muy interesante escuchar obscuridades olvidadas
como "Loose Bloose" (escuchado en dos versiones), "There Came You", "Fun
Ride , "y" Fudgesickle Built for Four "; Un par de canciones podrían ser revividas. Es una pena que Evans y Sims (una combinación lógica) nunca volvieran a grabar juntos.
