Lооѕе Bluеѕ is аn аlbum bу jazz pianist Bіll Evаnѕ released оn the Milestone label fеаturіng реrfоrmаnсеѕ bу Evаnѕ with Zооt Sims, Jіm Hall, Rоn Carter, аnd Phіllу Jое Jones recorded in 1962.

History.
Loose Bloose was recorded for the Riverside label, but eventually dropped mostly because of Riverside’s forthcoming bankruptcy and the pressures of Verve producer Creed Taylor, who wanted Evans on his Verve label. So the project was shelved, and the recordings were released posthumously in 1982 as part of The “Interplay” Sessions, after having been rediscovered in the Fantasy Records vaults. This was, in fact, believed to be a lost album since producer Orrin Keepnews could not find the master reels of the session dates, except for a take of “Loose Bloose”. However, after a thorough research, he did succeed in finding the reels “stored in poorly marked tape boxes”. The material was then assembled by Keepnews and Ed Michel (Wikipedia).

Reception.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stationg “It is a pity that Evans and Sims (a logical combination) never did record together again.”
