New Craft release with previously unreleased Riverside Bill Evans tracks.

This one appears to gather together all of the studio recordings of the Evans-LaFaro-Motion trio on five LPs.   It includes quite a few alternates previously unknown to me.  I have the Bill Evans Complete Riverside Box and about a dozen alternates not on that box that have been circulating.   But there is quite a bit more here. 

I wonder if there will be a CD issue?

Yes, there will also be a 3-CD set.

I am going to be reviewing it for Hot House. I giess the alternate takes were misfiled ehen the bog boxed set was done.

26 alternate takes of only two albums… happy for the Bill Evans die hards here but this is an easy pass for me.

That cover photo is a bit creepy, maybe?

Lotta competition in the "creepy Bill Evans photo" category.

I don't find it too creepy, but selecting a pic with his face obscured by hand and cigarette is weird.

And the pallid  background color does nobody any favors.

Let's just say I wouldn't put a poster of same on the wall. 🤣
