Description
Bill Evans is unquestionably one of the greatest and most influential jazz pianists of all time. He was the pianist Miles Davis knew he had to have to make his historic Milestone and Kind Of Blue albums as great as they were. Evans had enormous influence on Davis in the evolution of modal jazz. Evans left Davis to form his own trio, and this was his first and arguably greatest of several trios he led until he passed. It featured Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums. This was the trio’s second album and it has remained one of the classics of modal jazz. It’s a truly beautiful collection. The album was released on Original Jazz Classics in 1983, number OJC-088. This is a reissue of the album originally released on Riverside in 1960. The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs. It plays with virtually no background noise. The vinyl grades NM. The album cover shows a tiny hint of ring wear and corner and edge wear including a three inch split on the open side of the bottom seam. There may have been water damage in that corner as there is also some warping there. The other seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information:
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.
I use four grades in grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.
Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $6.00 in the continental U.S. The US Postal Service has raised the price of media mail twice since the last time I adjusted my shipping charge. I’m sorry to have to do this, but it is necessary once again. I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $6.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.
Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $30. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
