Bob...thx very much. You certainly gave me a lot to check out I will preview all of them on Amazon and Pandora before pulling the trigger. Any favorites for you among these? Thx

[f1 fan]

Thanks Bob for the list. I need to add to my collection. I've probably got some of those on vinyl but with about 8,000 lps and no particular order they can be hard to find

Thx very much Dave. I will certainly check these out. I was going through my music collection and realized that I have a lot of Bill Evans stuff but just Time Out for Dave Brubeck yet it seemed to me that he was just as influential as Bill Evans with his creative ryhthms/timing and lyricsm and phrasing. I am looking forward to getting to know his music better . Thx again for the recommendations.

A vinyl remaster of Bill Evans is coming out sometime (2010??). Supposidly remastered by Steve Hoffman. You can never have enough of BE.
