Evans, Bill - London 1965 : Jazz 625 CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
23-EQCD 6045
“During a four week residency at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, the Bill Evans Trio took part in the historic 'Jazz 625' show at the BBC Television Theatre, Shepherd's Bush on 19th March 1965 for broadcast by the BBC, capturing the pianist in thrilling form. Bass player Chuck Israels, who stepped manfully into the void left by Scott LaFaro's tragic death four years earlier, now had a well-developed rapport with the leader and Larry Bunker's West Coast cool propels everything along effortlessly.”
“The audio is ripped from the TV broadcast. Although the bass distorts at times, generally the sound is very good and perfectly listenable. The important thing is the performance which is sparkling, from a wonderful trio. The set is full of Evans favourites - almost a greatest hits list. The BBC is famous for reusing tapes. Does the original recording still exist? Who knows? Until it resurfaces, this disc is a must for Evans fans.”
