Pianist {|Bill Evans|} (who doubles on electric piano on this album for the final time in the recording studio) welcomes guest harmonica player {|Toots Thielemans|} and {|Larry Schneider|} (on tenor, soprano and alto flute) to an outing with bassist {|Marc Johnson|} (making his recording debut with {|Evans|}) and drummer {|Eliot Zigmund|}. The material contains some surprises (including {|Paul Simon|}'s {|I Do It for Your Love|} and {|Michel Legrand|}'s {|The Other Side of Tonight|}) and only two {|jazz standards|} ({|Body & Soul|} and {|Blue and Green|}) with the latter being the only {|Evans|} composition. Excellent if not essential music that {|Evans|} generally uplifts. ~ Scott Yanow Less
