FAQ

Is this Bill Evans' last studio recording?
No. The album was recorded in 1977 but only released in 1981, after his death. Later studio recordings such as Affinity had already come out before it.

Is this the original pressing?
Yes, this is the 1981 German first edition on Warner Bros., released the same year as the US edition.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG (Very Good) for the sleeve means clear signs of wear, here mainly a torn-off sticker on the front. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Yes, for example Bill Evans – At The Montreux Jazz Festival, New Conversations or Bill Evans & Jim Hall – Undercurrent. More titles are in our Jazz collection.
