Larry takes on the challenging roles of both Evans and Bennett to educate younger listeners about these great artists and to remind seasoned listeners of this pair who never recorded together again. Richard Terrill adds poetry about Bill Evans. In “You Must Believe in Spring,” you hear what Evans and Bennett did and what might have been.
