The Bill Evans Trio
The Legendary Trio At Birdland 1960 „Revisited"

Nirvana
Nirvana is an album by jazz flutist Herbie Mann with The Bill Evans Trio featuring Chuck Israels and Paul Motian. The great jazz pianist Bill Evans rarely recorded with flutists, but this exception marked a great collaboration.

Fans of either Herbie Mann or Bill Evans will want to acquire this enjoyable record.
