Alone is a solo piano album by jazz musician Bill Evans, recorded in the fall of 1968 for Verve Records, featuring a particularly notable 14+-minute performance of the jazz standard "Never Let Me Go"...
...In 1971, the album won the Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Performance, Small Group." The award was presented by none other than Duke Ellington and accepted on Evans's behalf by Quincy Jones...
..In The History of Jazz, critic Ted Gioia refers to Alone as a "glorious solo album ... with an incomparable exposition of 'Never Let Me Go,'" featuring "subtle shades and gradations, almost a jazz equivalent of Bach's Goldberg Variations, in which the smallest details were shaped with infinite care."- Wikipedia
