BILL EVANS - Conversations With Myself (Sealed) (LP)

Produced in a permissive atmosphere with Creed Taylor and engineer Ray Hall in February 1963 and subtitled 'A Searching Look Into The Genius Of Bill Evans', this album features a multi-tracked Evans playing only with himself on piano, with each track featuring an improvised second and third piano line, overdubbed atop what Evans laid down first. Reconstructed renditions of Theolonius Monk's ''Round About Midnight' and 'Blue Monk' give way to 'Theme From Spartacus' and Evans' own 'NYC's No Lark'; this edition features two bonus tracks, the first a re-organized take of Monk's 'Bemsha Swing,' the second a rendition of the Broadway show tune, 'A Sleepin' Bee.'
