Speak Low is the debut album led by pianist Walter Bishop Jr. which was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in 1961 and originally released on the Jazztime label.
[1] It was re-released in 1975 on the Muse label under the original title then reissued on CD in 1989 as Milestones on the Black Lion label with 3 alternate takes in 1989.
[2][3][4] Eugene Chadbourne of AllMusic stated "this is not a flashy keyboardist and also one who did not choose his debut as a leader to unveil a stack of up til then hidden original masterpieces of composition.
He plays standards here, choosing either the long or short form for six different titles, some of them quite familiar".
