This album captures the best Bill Evans Trio (Eddie Gomez on bass and Marty
Morell on drums) at the peak of their creative powers in a jaw-dropping
performance. This is an absolutely flawless gem, musically. Bill plays like an
angel. I have listened to this album well over 1000 times since I first bought
it back in the mid-seventies. I wore out 2 vinyl records - fortunately I bought
a 3rd, which I still treasure! I also enjoy the CD. This is a live album,
recorded at the Village Vanguard. The recording quality is not the best;
however, the music itself immediately transcends the limitations of the
recording setup, grabs you by your soul and never lets go. Each exceedingly
lovely piece is an inexhaustible mine of pure gold. I am constantly delighted. I
had the great good fortune of meeting and chatting with Bill Evans at a couple
of his concerts. I consider that I met the greatest pianist who has ever lived.
His playing, especially as evidenced on this album, places him virtually alone
at the summit of jazz-piano artistry. He reaches inside you and touches the
deepest recesses of your heart. The opening solo piano work on 'Since We Met'
floors me; the depth of feeling on 'Time Remembered' brings tears to my eyes;
'Sareen Jurer' flows like a river of... well, you get the idea. This must be
what it sounds like in heaven. - by Scorpio69, Amazon.com
Thirteen years
after his legendary Village Vanguard recordings, Bill Evans recorded Since We
Met at the famous New York establishment again. Using his trio of the era (which
includes bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Marty Morell), Evans explores both
familiar ("Time Remembered," "Turn Out the Stars" and "But Beautiful") and new
(Joe Zawinul's "Midnight Mood," "See-Saw" and "Sareen Jurer") material. This CD
reissue gives listeners a good example of Bill Evans' early-'70s trio as it
typically sounded in clubs. - by Scott Yanow, AMG
