Interplay is a 1963 album by jazz musician Bill Evans. It was recorded in July and August 1962 in NYC for Riverside Records. The Interplay Sessions is a 1982 album that includes this album as well as some sessions recorded on August 21-22 of the same year for Milestone Records (also with Philly Joe Jones and Jim Hall, but with Zoot Sims [tenor saxophone] and Ron Carter replacing Percy Heath on bass).
The Interplay Sessions peaked at #26 on the Billboard Jazz Albums charts in 1983. The CD reissue Interplay adds another take of "I'll Never Smile Again" as a bonus track. At the Grammy Awards of 1984, Orrin Keepnews won the Grammy Award for Best Album Notes for the reissue.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow called the album "Excellent music."
