Samples: Bill Evans – Alone (1968 Album)



Alone is an album by jazz musician Bill Evans, recorded in late 1968 for Verve Records. The year of release is unclear, even though a release in the first months of 1970 is a strong possibility.[1] The Grammy Award-winning Alone was Bill Evans’ first single piano solo album following in the footsteps of his 1963 Verve session Conversations With Myself (three pianos overdubbed) and his 1967 Further Conversations with Myself, also on Verve (two pianos overdubbed).

The recording date of this solo outing by pianist Bill Evans has been listed as both September 1968 and December 1969; the latter seems the more logical entry. In any case, Evans’ final Verve album is one of his weaker dates. He plays five often-rambling solos, including a 14-and-a-half-minute exploration of “Never Let Me Go,” and one senses that he misses the usual interplay that he had with his sidemen. In addition, the repertoire — which also includes “Here’s That Rainy Day,” “A Time for Love,” “Midnight Mood,” and “On a Clear Day”
