Seems like Bill Evans-philes don't talk about this record much, but I think this pairing of Evans and Manne works wonderfully.

I think the  Evans-philes' problem with "Empathy" is that they feel that RVG's usual close-in way of mic-ing the piano significantly distorted Evans' touch. See p. 136-7 of Peter Pettinger's Evans biography "How My Heart Sings" for details and opinion on this.

I suppose that makes sense. It's not a "typical Bill Evans" sound, for sure.
