This compilation collects the complete February 6, 1972 concert by the Bill Evans Trio that was first aired by A la Masion de la Radio in Paris and subsequently issued on two individual CDs by France's Concert. The pianist, joined by bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell, is in top form throughout the performance, even if the first half of the concert is a bit laid-back for Evans. But drawing from a walk of material, including numerous originals, there's also the haunting "Turn Out the Stars" and the bittersweet "The Two Lonely People," on which the trio gathers steam in the second half, with a wild romp through Evans' demanding "Twelve Tone Tune" and a delightfully breezy treatment of "Very Early" (showcasing Gomez), along with a moving rendition of Denny Zeitlin's gorgeous requiem "Quiet Now" among the highlights. The final track is from a Yugoslavian jazz festival recorded a few months later and previously issued on the Enja compilation Live at the Festival with British drummer Tony Oxley in Morell's place. Evidently due to lack of rehearsal and familiarity working with Evans, Oxley never really blends in very well with the pianist and Gomez in the extended workout of "Nardis." But due to the excellent performances by Evans and Gomez, this is a rewarding disc that returns once rare music to print. ~ Ken Dryden
This CD contains Bill Evans' complete February 6, 1972 concert at Paris' prestigious Maison de la Radio. The abundance of engaging ideas and sensitive playing, and the excellent sound quality of the performance make this as essential recording for Bill Evans enthusiasts. It is also intriguing to hear the pianist so involved in playing on the sound of the instrument. In addition to the complete February 6, 1972 Maison de la Radio concert, this edition also contains a fifteen-minute version of Nardis from the June 1972 Ljubljana Festival in Yugoslavia recorded in trio format with Marty Morell and the exciting British drummer Tony Oxley. This is the only track that survived from Evans' Ljubljana performance. Disconforme. 2005.
