Query: Evan's classic ballads album

With Evan's 2nd trio, this album iniated the second stage of the late pianist's evolution into a balladeer of the piano. Starting "Re: A Person I Knew" an anagram for Orrin Keepnews as well as an elegy for the late bassist Scott LaFaro, Evans' playing grew in intensity with this classic album. It was also the "Best of the Month" in the Hi/Fi Stereo Review by Nat Hentoff or was it Joe Goldberg? Regardless this version of this original by Evans remains the definitive one and reason enough to get this album but there are other treasures to behold the ear from "the Chopin of jazz/contemporary piano". Rarely heard gems like "In Love in Vain" are coupled with the fresh re-workings of "It Might as Well Be Spring" and "Polka Dots & Moonbeams" plus a classic Evans original, "Very Early". If you're are in a contemplative or introspective mood, you'll be rewarded by listening to this album. Recommended for all romantics and poets!!
