This LP comprises highlights from Bill Evans' earliest studio recording sessions. By September 1956, at nearly 27-years old, Evans already had many studio recordings under his belt, and a lot of playing experience. However, that month marked the making of his first recordings to be issued under his own name, New Jazz Conception, a combination of trio and solo pieces. During a 1972 interview with Joe Vandyl, Evans expressed his opinion about those sessions: "I still think that it was a good record at the time, as good as I could do and I still will listen to it without any misgivings; as you say, the influences were perhaps more marked. There were a lot of influences; some of the major ones might have been George Shearing, Bud Powell, of course, Nat Cole, Earl Hines and many players you never hear of. I think some of the main influences were the obvious people like Dizzy Gillespie, Miles, Stan Getz and Bird. It's like building an idiomatic language and a musical language, and you kind of take abstract principles, melodic, harmonic and rhythmic influences, and you put them together."
