• Track Listing

It’s easier to "sing" through a brass instrument, a woodwind…even a violin. But somehow, Bill Evans—with his impressionistic harmonies and lilting melodic lines—managed to do it with the piano, a feat that earned him undying fans (including Miles, Mingus and many other jazz stars who employed him). Here are his first 12 LPs as a leader, from his debut New Jazz Conceptions to his seminal Empathy LP; his self-penned standard Waltz for Debby joins Speak Low; My Romance; Honeysuckle Rose; I Got Rhythm; Autumn Leaves; Witchcraft; Spring Is Here; Nardis; Solar; My Foolish Heart; Interplay; Danny Boy; How My Heart Sings; Summertime; I Believe in You…more than seven and a half hours of exquisite sounds!
