1969 Live Set On 180g Vinyl LP!
As a former member of the Miles Davis sextet Bill Evans made a strong impression with his first trio, which included the innovative bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. Their 1961 live Sunday At The Village Vanguard set the standard for interactive trio work and is still regarded as a jazz classic. Tragically, LaFaro was killed in a car accident 10 days after that historic session. There followed a succession of rhythm tandems until Evans found another inspired pairing in 1968 with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell who remained together for seven years.
"This recording from his European tour of 1969 is classic Evans in the trio format featuring the finest of Bill's material from his golden age. His own compositions, including 'Quiet Now' and 'Very Early' sit nicely with the Miles original 'Nardis' and Michel Legrand's 'What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?' They demonstrate his skill as a mature and distinguished writer as well as amplifying the imaginative and logical piano playing which endeared him to music lovers universally." - Amazon
