Description

1965 Album on Limited Edition Vinyl LP!
Features Compositions By Granados, Bach, Scriabin & More!

For this amazing 1965 album (released by the Verve label in February of 1966), Bill Evans and his trio (featuring bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker) meet a 48-piece symphony orchestra conducted and arranged by Claus Ogerman. Producer Creed Taylor was anxious, as perhaps was Evans himself, to get some crossover success. The Symphony Orchestra album took a lot of work and includes compositions by Granados, Bach, Scriabin, Fauré, and Chopin as well as two by Evans and one by Ogerman. According to Evans, "We weren't trying to prove any new kind of music on this album; our sole drive was for something artistic." Whatever the intentions, the results are just beautiful.

"I was a teenager when I first listened to Bill Evnas, and he, along with Oscar Peterson, is the reason I played piano. Bill Evans with Symphony Orchestra is a wonderful and sometimes overlooked album." - David Foster (Canadian composer, arranger and producer, winner of 16 Grammy awards, and president of Verve Records in 2012-2016)
