Vinyl LP pressing. Recorded at three different studio sessions on February 6 and 9 and May 20 1963 Evans recorded the album using the then-controversial method of overdubbing three different yet corresponding piano tracks for each song. It s an interesting combination of counterpointed lines and chords that Evans employs with differing tempos and shadings that complement rather than contrast. Additionally the usage of angular dialect à la Thelonious Monk and the witty discourse he can conjure with his own styles thicken and broaden the horizons of the usually spare harmonic inventions the pianist expresses on his own.
