. . .but thank you for bringing it up anyway.

Another good Cannonball/Bill collaborative album is Portrait of Cannonball. Worth it for the original recordings of 'Nardis.'

Are you familiar with the Last Waltz and Consecration box sets? They are literally the last recordings made of Bill. Deep stuff (each set is eight discs), but some very rewarding renditions of some of his most well know tunes. Seems a bit of a mistake to recommend such seemingly heavy material right off the bat, but I would really suggest anyone interested in who Bill Evans was, what he did that was so special and why it was so important to at least preview those sets.

EDIT:
Meant to ask, are you an Andrew Hill fan?
