Bill Evans Alone

Bill Evans Alone is an album by jazz musician Bill Evans, released in 1968. The Grammy Award-winning Alone was Bill Evans' first single piano solo album following in the footsteps of his 1963 Verve session Conversations With Myself (three pianos overdubbed) and his 1967 Further Conversations with Myself, also on Verve (two pianos overdubbed). It has been reissued in various forms with additional tracks and alternate takes from sessions on September 23, October 8 and 21st. ^[1]

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "... Evans' final Verve album is one of his weaker dates... This set is therefore only recommended to Bill Evans' completists who already have 50 of his other recordings."^[2]
