●比爾艾文斯浪漫詩情的鋼琴典範錄音
身為爵士史上最偉大且具影響力的優雅爵士鋼琴手，已故的比爾艾文斯一直是最受全球無數爵士樂迷愛戴的傳奇人物。尤其是透過他奇幻而詩意指尖下所留傳下來的大量錄音作品，幾乎張張都被挑剔的樂評家們譽為爵士樂經典。溫和恬淡卻又深刻凝聚的唯美風格，以及擷取於印象樂派的創意轉換，比爾艾文斯的音樂中始終保有一股令人愉悅的優雅與現代風格，而由他所首創的鋼琴三重奏，更是將他的這種獨特而迷人的細膩氣質發揚到極致。
這張在他演奏巔峰期間所灌錄的專輯，除了展現他一貫的典雅抒情之外，比爾艾文斯更是首度嘗試一首曲子以鋼琴與電鋼琴在不同時間錄音後，又重疊remix合成一版，形成不同聲部的一首錄音（Synchronize）神乎奇技地詮釋了9首包括“What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life ?”、“I’m All Smiles”以及“The Dolphin-before and After”等極為深刻感人的抒情曲目；此外，編曲兼指揮的米奇李歐納德（Mickey Leonard）的深厚功力亦讓整張專輯更顯得完整而具敘述性，相信這張早已絕版的大師經典，其再度面世必將引起爵士樂壇極大的迴響，更是樂迷們的一大福音。

One of two classic records (the other being Waltz for Debby) culled from perfectionist pianist Bill Evans' stand at the Village Vanguard in 1961. The album cover features the by-line "featuring Scott LaFaro", the bass player whose accidental death soon after highlighted his immense contributions to jazz. Absolutely timeless.
