Also recorded during Bill Evans final dates at the Keystone Korner, this CD concentrates more on ballads. Recent Evans compositions included are "Tiffany" and "Your Story," both of which had been recorded live at the Village Vanguard but weren't available on commercial releases until after Evans' death. The pianist takes a number of long introductions, with "My Romance" proving that he still had plenty of fire on stage even as his life was ebbing away. ~ Ken Dryden
