An intelligent and elegant session born from the collaboration of these masters.
This is a key work from Bill Evans' Riverside period, featuring collaborations with Freddie Hubbard and Jim Hall. A modern jazz masterpiece characterized by a tight ensemble that bridges the gap between hard bop and modal music.
Beginning with the title track "Interplay," the dialogue between the various instruments creates an intellectual tension. Hubbard's trumpet sounds brilliant, while Evans' introspective piano unifies the whole. Hall's guitar adds soft color, and the individual personalities of each player intertwine exquisitely. The sound construction, which is cool yet retains a warmth, is appealing, making this a work that symbolizes Evans's ensemble orientation.
