BILL EVANS - New Jazz Conceptions (Jazz Wax Reissue w/ Bonus Track) - LP - 180g Vinyl [AUG 4]

LP - Limited Edition 180g Vinyl (high-definition audiophile pressing). The complete album plus a bonus track. 

The album primarily showcases Evans in a trio format (with Teddy Kotick on bass, and Paul Motian on drums), but also contains three solo piano tracks, one of which is Evans' earliest recording ever of his legendary composition 'Waltz for Debby'.

"This is an important first LP- as- leader, and on any count, is one of the more creative modern jazz piano albums in a number of months." - Nat Hentoff, Down Beat

"Even in 1956 (more than a year before he joined the Miles Davis Sextet), Evans had his own chord voicings and a lyrical yet swinging style. A strong start to a signifcant career." - Scott Yanow, AllMusic.
