Verve Jazz Masters 5

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

Annotation

Compilation of 1960's recordings of Bill Evans on the Verve label. Recording date for track 2 "Here's that Rainy Day" needs confirmation, the 1969 recording date in the booklet does not match other sources, so two dates are currently associated with the recording.
