I had heard from Orrin Keepnews that Bill engineered the idea for this session because he was in dire need of money to support his habit at the time. Whatever the reason may be, the results turned out to be fabulous!! When asked who were his favorite pianists, Freddie Hubbard remarked, "Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner" and you can hear his reverence towards Bill in this recording. It's definitely off the beaten track for Bill and he surrounded himself with his cohort from the Davis group, Philly Jo Jones and Percy Heath from the MJQ. Plus adding guitarist Jim Hall with whom he recorded another masterpiece, "Undercurrent". Freddie sounds warmer than usual and his fresh take on standards "You Go to My Head" was just that because he was mostly unfamiliar with them. Anyone who says that Bill couldn't swing or play the blues should check out the title track. I formerly had this on vinyl but I'll probably pick this up on CD. The only other large group Evans recording available is the one he did on Fantasy with Philly Jo, Kenny Burrell, Harold Land & Ray Brown but I think one is the hottest one to get!!

This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN games I have ever played! And, mind you, I am not an easy customer (feel free to browse through all my reviews, you will see what I mean...)

The original BG series was excellent in all of storyline, gameplay, music and stability. Now, nowadays, sequels usually mean a graphically-improved expansion (at best). BG2 is a rare exception of the sequel clearly SURPASSING the original. And in the case of such great original, this means a lot!

Words fail to describe the perfect harmony of brilliant ideas, emerging story-line and detailed coding that makes this game an unsurpassable classic! This COLLECTION contains all the sequels, patched with the latest fixes. Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you. They were cutting edge only some years ago - and you will be able to unleash their full potential even on mid-range PCs!

I have yet to meet anyone who has played it and not raved about it! Hard-core D&D funs will find the character building, fighting checks and balances and overall experience very close to the actual pen-&-paper games.
Casual computer gamers will notice none of the tedious stuff of other cRPGs as the gameplay runs smooth and beautifully.
You even have the choice to turn it into either a turn-based or an action game by tweaking the auto-pause options! I am telling you: this is how computers games should be!

You will let yourself get lost in the deep dungeons of the labyrinthic story; you will be laughing out loud to the humorous dialog; you will be surprised as to who is a double and triple-agent.
There is an evil beyond imagining unleashed and only you with your party can stand in its way.
Party members offer a multitude of unpredictable balancing points and diverging story-lines of their own: side quests, conflicts and love affairs enrich the story in so many original ways!

A collection of unsurpassed classics!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I love the genre and the style of the game, but I think it may be showing some cracks around the edges. I think the technology has caught up with this version of the game, and it is just a bit buggy in the world of XP and Vista.
Still, the game is beautiful, and I am enjoying it, I just think that Freespace 2 might be a bit more on the software curve that is in line with the machines of today.
If you have 98 or XP, this game is still a winner. If you have Vista, then you may want to wait until Windows 7 comes out so you can use the XP mode to run fun games.
