· Special digipak release of recordings made by Bill Evans as a sideman in the groups of Dick Garcia, Joe Puma, Tony Scott and Jimmy Knepper - all recorded in 1956-57, in New York City.

· As well as the above four leaders and Evans himself, these sessions also included : Gene Quill (as), Jerry Bruno, Oscar Pettiford, Les Grinage, Teddy Kotick (b); Camille Morin, Paul Motian, Lennie McBrowne, & Dannie Richmond (d).

· After graduating from college in 1950, Evans had started gigging with Mundell Lowe & Red Mitchell, before joining the Herbie Fields band. Following a stint in the army from 1951 to 1954, he worked with the Jerry Wald band, before joining Tony Scott’s quartet - when he really started getting noticed by jazz enthusiasts and other musicians. These 16 tracks help to show why. The rest, as they say, is history.
