Well-played but somewhat tepid, curiously unengaging set by Bill........2007-05-06
For a live date, and an original Riverside session at that, there's a lack of energy, or presence, especially compared to the earlier Vanguard sessions or any of the recordings that have emerged of Bill's playing during his final year. The "unapproved" "Last Waltz" and "Consecration" box sets are absolutely electrifying compared to this date.
The audio is certainly "professional," though reducing the bass, bringing up the drums, and letting in a bit more crowd ambience would definitely have made a positive difference. Also, I'm surprised to hear some traces of the bottled-up, mono-dimensional "Van Gelder piano" on a Riverside session, as though the piano is too closely miked and deprived of some of the overtones essential to a natural, "open" sound. Finally, the amount of solo space given Israels seems overly generous, anticipating Evans' next ensemble, facetiously billed by some critics as "The Eddie Gomez Trio."
Once you've discovered the towering genius of the "real" Bill Evans, both early and late, it's easy to become so spoiled that nothing less will do. Herbie and Chic, Keith and Brad don't compare, and there are occasions such as this when even Bill doesn't live up to himself.
[I suddenly realize that I've been talking about the 2005 remastered edition rather than this 1991 version, which is likely to have a truer bass sound, permitting the listener to distinguish clearer pitches. Hang on to your "non"-remastered copy.]
Beautifully played and recorded , with a true live feel .......2005-08-31
Bill Evans the pianist has been so influential that to play something in his sort of style has become a sort of language in itself .
This album gives you a taste of a much better than average working trio who are in tune with each other , as is required for the best music to be created .
If you know the tunes , you will enjoy the record more .
The recording sounds extremely true to life and this helps draw the listener in .
I recommend it highly - if you like it , more selections from the date can be found on another CD called TIME REMEMBERED .
I own both the albums and will continue to enjoy them always .
I encourage those who love the sound of the piano in an intimate setting to purchase this .
Lesser known treasure..........2005-04-02
Not as Lofty, But Still Great.......2001-04-25
Evans plays a wonderful collection of (mostly) standards, swinging on "The Boy Next Door (5:26)," with a nice bass solo by trio member Chuck Israels and some lilting runs by Evans. In the group, bass is emphasized more than drums (or just recorded better). There are several bass solos (e.g., on "Wonder Why," "Our Love is Here to Stay", and "All the Things You Are," to name a few) by the excellent Israels, but be forewarned if that's not your thing. Larry Bunker's drumming is very good, but sometimes nothing special.
"Swedish Pastry (5:55)" is a good example of the slightly different approach on this CD; Evans' boppish attack recalls the great Bud Powell. It also features an excellent Max Roach-like approach by Bunker. "Out Love is Here to Stay (4:51)" stays fairly close to the melody, but Evans' swinging style and assertive comping by Israels and Bunker keep it moving. He takes Monks' "'Round Midnight (9:07)" at a slow pace, alternating brooding tones with lighter single-note runs. I enjoyed the Israels/Evans duo on this very much. "All the Things You Are" (the almost obligatory bonus CD track) begins somewhat intellectual and studied, then somehow accomplishes a playful/abstract mood. The final cut "Blues in `F' (5:44)" is vintage Evans, with excellent comping by Israels and Bunker. As with some of the other songs, there's too little of Evans' playing--but he's a master when he plays.
The audience offers polite applause: neither detracting nor adding much to this live set. Recording quality is very good, and there are excellent liner notes by Chuck Israels. By the way, other than the famous "Village Vanguard" CDs, this 1963 set is the only live recording Evans made for Riverside (and also the last he made for the financially strapped company.)
I think this is an excellent album for Evans fans who want a taste of something different (and especially for those who like a lot of excellent bass work). Probably not "essential," but worth getting if you love this man's incredible work!

Sub-par remaster; (thankfully) not indispensable Evans........2007-05-06
Amazon is listing this as a "Galaxy" recording, which has to be a misprint. It's definitely a Riverside recording which, along with Fantasy, is little more than a genre marker used by the Concord Music Group.

LEGRAND PLAYS PIANO TOO!.......2002-08-01
This fertlie setting gives us a great opportunity to witness proof of that, a 1968 date in Hollywood with Ray Brown (the greatest bass player who ever lived, and who we recently lost) and Shelly Manne on drums. Shelly also happenned to be the owner of record where these sides were captured in front of a live audience. While the originals will make you lean foward to get a good listen (GRAND BROWN MAN and RAY'S RIFF are great; the avant-garde LOS GATOS will really get you going)my favorite here is the touching version Michel gives of the Johnny Mandel classic, A TIME FOR LOVE. There is much to be said of Legrand and company's playing on one of Michel's own works, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS as well. But let the music speak for itself, get this album and relax...and swing a little too! Another fine import.
