The Last Waltz  Bill
EvansAce [Milestone] 8 CDs £81.50 [POST FREE : UK only] Sixty-five previously unreleased performances take in thirty-two different melodies, most of them standards, as well as nine Evans originals. The sessions stem from eight nights at a one-time San Francisco jazz landmark by the pianist's last outstanding trio, during what would prove to be the penultiumate week of his life. This collection is additionally notable for its repertoire, amounting to a beautifully-charted Evans Retrospective. Buoyed and consistently challenged by the young but adept bass/drums team of Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera, who had joined him in 1978 and 1979 respectively, Evans rethinks, reconfigures, and revitalizes many of the touchstone pieces spanning his brilliant career. |
