Labels: Riverside Records, Original Jazz Classics

On the back cover:
"RIVERSIDE HIGH FIDELITY
Recorded in New York, September 18 and 27, 1956."

On the sticker:
"In 1956, Bill Evans was virtually unknown (it would be more than a year before his first gained notice as part of the celebrated Miles Davis Sextet). His initial album attracted little attention back then, but listening with hindsight it is easy to hear in these highly individual trio and solo treatments a clear prophecy of the rich inventiveness that so deeply influenced Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarret, and an entire generation of jazz pianists.
