This was a follow-up to 1962’s Undercurrent, which also featured Hall and Evans. Produced by Creed Taylor and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in two sessions in April and May 1966. It’s just Evans on piano and Hall on guitar, starting with two standards (“I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “My Man’s Gone Now”) and then a number of more contemporary tunes, including originals by Evans and Hall as well as Joe Zawinul.
My copy—via Mystery Train in Gloucester MA—is a 60s pressing with Van Gelder stamped in the runouts pressed by MGM.
