The title refers to the
Michel Legrand piece performed twice on the date, and to the fact that pianist
Bill Evans was on the verge of switching labels from Fantasy to Warner Bros. For his final Fantasy album,
Evans, bassist
Eddie Gómez, and drummer
Eliot Zigmund perform memorable renditions of such songs as
Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance,"
Johnny Mandel's "Seascape," and
Burt Bacharach's underrated "A House Is Not a Home." The CD reissue adds two additional selections ("Nobody Else But Me" and "Orson's Theme") from this excellent series of sessions. Fine post-bop music from an influential piano giant.
