Bill Evans - My Foolish Heart

The late Bill Evans from a Jazz 625 show originally done for the BBC in 1965. Larry Bunker on drums and Chuck Israels on bass. I saw these on very expensive Japanese laserdiscs (there were two shows) years ago at Tower Records in Las Vegas. I debated buying them...but did...and wondered if I'd been stupid all the way home. Then I cued one up when I got back...and within 30 seconds knew I'd made the right decision. This is my favorite track from those shows. The touch and subtlety here has never been matched by another pianist.
