From the same legendary Vanguard afternoon, all delicacy and dialogue between three musicians listening hard. Tender and timeless. A desert-island jazz record. Released in 1962, it's one of Bill Evans's later high points.
On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
