On Green Dolphin Street is a record album by jazz musician Bill Evans recorded in 1959 that wasn’t released until 1975.[1] The title is taken from the 1947 MGM movie Green Dolphin Street and the film's title song, by Bronislau Kaper and Ned Washington, which has become a jazz standard.
The CD edition catalogued as MCD-9235-2 has a different track listing; moreover, it does not include "Loose Bloose" but contains a rare first take of "All of You" from the Village Vanguard engagement by the 1961 Evans Trio with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian.

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album: "Although lacking the magic of Evans' regular bands, this CD reissue has its strong moments and the pianist's fans will be interested in getting the early sampling of his work. A special bonus is the rare first take of "All of You" from the legendary Village Vanguard engagement by the 1961 Evans Trio (with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian)."[2]
Track 7 recorded on January 25, 1961 at the Village Vanguard, New York City.
