"The recordings on this CD precede the same trio's live performance at the Village Vanguard in 1961 by more than a year. Incomplete versions of these tracks have been previously issued on LP but appear here on CD in their entirety. We are proud to present the complete Birdland sessions of the most legendary of all the Bill Evans trios."
"These Birdland broadcast performances were originally recorded on tape by Boris Rose. Part of these recordings were previously issued by Rose himself on LP on the Session, Ozone and Alto labels."
