At The Montreux Jazz Festival – Bill Evans – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

At The Montreux Jazz Festival captures Bill Evans at a pivotal point in his storied career, performing live in 1968 with his then-new trio featuring Eddie Gomez on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums. This isn’t just another live album—it’s a testament to Evans’ restless curiosity and willingness to reinvent his own piano language on the fly. The interplay here is electric, yet never hurried; each note is given room to breathe, every phrase a conversation among equals. Standout tracks like “Nardis” and “Embraceable You” unfold with both subtlety and daring, highlighting Evans’ unique touch—lyrical, introspective, yet brimming with quiet confidence. The Montreux setting lends the recording a palpable intimacy and warmth, drawing listeners into the heart of the performance. For the jazz devotee or the vinyl explorer eager to experience a landmark moment in live jazz, this record is essential. It’s more than a historical document—it’s a vivid, living example of how three musicians listened to and challenged each other, reshaping the possibilities of the piano trio on a Swiss summer night.
