USA: Bill Evans-Another Time: The Hilversum Concert(2017)
Another Time: The Hilversum Concert is a rare, never-before-issued
recording of the legendary Bill Evans trio featuring bassist Eddie Gomez
and drummer Jack DeJohnette captured live at the Netherlands Radio
Union (NRU) Studios in Hilversum on June 22, 1968. This is only the
third known recording in existence of this particular trio, who only
performed together as a trio for a 6-month period in 1968, and was
originally recorded and broadcast on the radio program Jazz in Actie by
Dutch producer Joop de Roo. For the audiophile, this is possibly the
best sounding live recording of Bill Evans found to date, captured with
the then state-of-the-art equipment of the NRU, and kept in pristine
condition over the years. On the heels of 2016's landmark Evans
discovery, Some Other Time: The Lost Session from the Black Forest,
which was recorded a mere two days prior to this Hilversum date in 1968,
Resonance has struck gold again with yet another unearthed gem from the
iconic pianist Bill Evans. Another Time is being officially released in
conjunction with the Bill Evans Estate and the musicians, and the
deluxe CD features rare photos by Chuck Stewart, Lee Tanner and Tom
Copi; an expansive 36-page liner note book with essays by acclaimed
author Marc Myers, noted Dutch jazz journalist Bert Vuijsje, Resonance
producer Zev Feldman; plus interviews with Eddie Gomez, Jack DeJohnette,
esteemed pianist Steve Kuhn and more.
