Green Dolphin Street [Japan 1999]

About Green Dolphin Street [Japan 1999]

On Green Dolphin Street is an album credited to jazz musician Bill Evans and released in 1977 through the Victor Music Industries Inc. japanese label as an imprint for Riverside. The songs from this 1959 session first appeared on the 1975 double LP compilation Peace Piece And Other Pieces (Milestone Records, M-47024) which also included the Everybody Digs Bill Evans album. The title is taken from the 1947 MGM movie Green Dolphin Street and the film's title song, by Bronislau Kaper and Ned Washington, which has become a jazz standard. The CD edition catalogued as MCD-9235-2 has a different track listing; moreover, it does not include "Loose Bloose" but contains a rare first take of "All of You" from the Village Vanguard engagement by the 1961 Evans Trio with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. more »
