In celebration of his birthday, I have opened up Disc VII.

Bill Evans could not make a bad record.  A couple of decades ago I reached a saturation point and decided to stop buying Bill Evans records.  I still enjoy his music and welcome reissues of classic Evans like this but feel no need to upgrade.

Yes, it's a Cookers album, released in 2010, but it's a Harper composition.
