We Will Meet Again is a jazz composition by Bill Evans that tells a poignant story linked to his brother Harry. It was first recorded two years earlier for the album You Must Believe in Spring, where it is subtitled (For Harry). The 1979 quintet album We Will Meet Again, Evans’ last studio date, features Tom Harrell on trumpet, Larry Schneider on saxophones, Marc Johnson on bass, and Joe LaBarbera on drums, with Evans playing both acoustic and electric piano. The title track on the 1979 album is a short, lyrical piece that Evans pairs with For All We Know (We May Never Meet Again) as a matched pair of brief piano solos. The album, released by Warner Bros. in 1979 and recorded in New York City, is in a post-bop jazz style and won the Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 1981. The tune remains one of Evans’ best known late compositions, noted for its emotional depth and melodic tenderness.
