Victor Feldman

It's closer to easy listening than the typical jazz-bossa album of the day. Minimal solo space, which is used very cautiously too.

I think this album was also released as "Love Me with All Your Heart" on Vee-Jay. The year of release (possibly recording) is given as 1964 in this discography:

This is what's listed for that release:

VJ*-1096 - Love Me With All Your Heart - Victor Feldman [1964]

Love Me With All Your Heart*

I Left My Heart In San Francisco

Fly Me To The Moon

Valerie

Walk On The Wild Side

Hello Dolly*

The Girl from Ipanema*

A Taste Of Honey

Green Dolphin Street

Moon River

Anna

Some differences - marked *. Maybe they had unreleased material or whatever. Bruyninckx also lists the VeeJay LP but does not connect the two. The personnel on the VeeJay LP only says "Victor Feldman and his Instrumentalists" according to Bruyninckx.

Thanks.  What is interesting is that only three musicians are listed, but it is a quartet with piano and vibes.   Do we assume that Feldman played both piano and vibes, via overdubs, or was the pianist or vibist not credited for contractual reasons?  The pianist uses some Bill Evans-esque devices, including ascending triads derived from the melodic minor scale, but otherwise it does not necessarily sound like Bill Evans.
