For the record, the Bill Evans album you mentioned, “Conversations With Myself” — on which he actually overdubbed himself twice — was recorded eight years after that Lennie Tristano album. Tristano presumably inspired Evans to do what he did, but it took the inspiration a while to take hold.

Thanks for the info, steveo! @Mike W.: She sings it beautifully. I mean, it takes a lot of courage to take on Anne Briggs, in my view. She does well! @Peter: I like the Bill Evans record more, but it's cool that Tristano had this inspirational idea!

I was confused by Michael Murphy when I was a kid because my friend's older brother was named Michael Murphy.
