First pressing of this intriguing collaboration, inscribed by both Evans and Manne on the front cover; "To Chris, It was nice meeting you, Shelly Manne", "Chris, one of my favourite fans, Bill Evans". The pair were sharing the bill at the Village Vanguard when producer Creed Taylor suggested that they partner up for a recording…and time was booked at Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs, NJ.studio,completing the date was Monty Budwig, Manne's regular bassist at the time. The resulting album was commended by Leonard Feather in Down Beat, "Essentially the focus is on Evans, as it should be; yet because of the skill with which he and Manne co-operated, one is often conscious that an important interplay is involved, one that lifts the results far out of the normal piano-with-rhythm class". Cook and Morton award it 3/4*, "Evans seldom responded to a hard-driving drummer, but Manne's canny momentum creates sparks of interplay without disturbing the pianist's equilibrium"; while Allmusic's David Nathan feels that "This was a busman's holiday for Evans, who was freed from the musical parameters he had set for his then current trio. With the result that his playing seemed lighter, freer, more relaxed than it had done for a while. it's a clear that everyone was having a good time and simply enjoying being relieved of their duties with their regular combos". 12-inch vinyl LP (Verve V-8497), in gatefold sleeve, outer laminated, front cover artwork featuring a sculpture by sculptor/photographer Sheldon Machlin, original paper sleeve retained. Uncredited photos of the trio in the studio to the inside cover, Manne's bass drum sporting a front head with the NRA - National Reconstruction Agency - eagle logo and motto "We do our part". Cover a little rubbed, laminate peeling from leading edge on the back panel, interior lightly foxed, inner paper sleeve slightly browned and splitting on the edges, the disc itself showing light surface haze a few minor scuffs, overall very good.
