2014 vinyl LP reissue of his 1956 debut solo album. A significant date in the history of legendary pianist Bill Evans' recording career, New Jazz Conceptions marks his maiden voyage as a leader and finds the then 27-year-old pianist already sounding much different than the usual Bud Powell-influenced keyboardists of the time. Recorded in 1956, more than a year before he joined the Miles Davis Sextet, this set finds Evans flashing his own unique chord voicing's in a lyrical, swinging style. Three selections here are taken solo (including the original version of his classic Waltz for Debby), while the other eight are performed in a trio with bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Paul Motian (including his future theme Five, Speak Low, and No Cover, No Minimum). a strong start to a significant career and a must -have for fans of classic piano trios. Love You, Five, I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good, Conception, Easy Living, Displacement, Speak Low, Waltz for Debby, Our Delight, My Romance, No Cover No Minimum
