After bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker departed the Bill Evans Trio in early 1966, pianist Bill Evans hired bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Joe Hunt in April of that year for his working group.
Another great release from Resonance Records I'm really looking forward to. I'll buy the CD release. So, day one of waiting till Dec. 5th. 🙂 And thanks of sharing a portion of your liner notes here, Marc. 👍
There are Bill Evans RSD releases at least once (maybe twice) yearly. I think it’s reached the point of overexposure. I know I’ve passed on several of them and at the store I frequent they don’t sell out in year’s past. Perhaps Resonance should put out a series like the Grateful Dead too called Zev’s Picks.
Hi Brad. I respect your viewpoint. From a personal standpoint, there can't be enough Bill Evans, whether I write the liners or not. Probably the only jazz artist whose work I can't hear enough. I favor the variations and moods and time periods. It's like too much Michelangelo, Leonardo or Rembrandt. As for the last sentence, you may want to cut it on your end. Seems unnecessarily snarky and mean-spirited. At JazzWax, we steer clear of those kinds of remarks and keep things friendly. Thanks for your opinion and for respecting the blog's mission.
I should care.... and I do. Butter on toast ... it's that good.

Beautiful work Marc.
So many thanks, Robert.
