Plays the Theme from The V.I.P.s and Other Great Songs is an album of theme music by jazz pianist Bill Evans with an orchestra conducted by Claus Ogerman recorded in 1963 for the MGM label.

Contents

Reception

The album was an intentionally commercial production and the tracks were omitted from the 18-CD collection The Complete Bill Evans on Verve as they were deemed to have negligible artistic merit. The Allmusic review awarded the album 3½ stars.
