Bill Evans
The late pianist-composer's first career-spanning box set, the 5-CD Everybody Still Digs Bill Evans: A Career Retrospective (1956-1980) covers many of Evans' key label affiliations as a leader including Riverside, Milestone, Fantasy, Verve, Warner Bros., and Elektra. (He was so prolific that he also recorded for United Artists, Atlantic, MGM, Philips, MPS, CTI, and Columbia.) Personnel includes Stan Getz, Shelly Manne, Kenny Burrell, and many other boldface names. It also features a previously unreleased live set from 1975 recorded at Oil Can Harry's in Vancouver, British Columbia. That concert, titled On a Friday Evening, will be issued the same day as a standalone release in 2-LP, CD, and digital formats (including 192/24 and 96/24 high resolution options).
