The Complete Bill Evans on Verve

~ Release by Bill Evans (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The original Verve release of this 18-CD box set is notable for being in a metal box that is designed to rust over time. One of the edges is fairly sharp as well. I tell people that they better wear gloves if the haven't had a tetanus booster.
