Pianist
Bill Evans (who doubles on electric piano on this album for the final time in the recording studio) welcomes guest harmonica player
Toots Thielemans and
Larry Schneider (on tenor, soprano and alto flute) to an outing with bassist
Marc Johnson (making his recording debut with
Evans) and drummer
Eliot Zigmund. The material contains some surprises (including
Paul Simon's "I Do It for Your Love" and
Michel Legrand's "The Other Side of Tonight") and only two jazz standards ("Body & Soul" and "Blue and Green") with the latter being the only
Evans composition. Excellent if not essential music that
Evans generally uplifts. ~ Scott Yanow
