Bill Evans Trio
LIVE AT HILVERSUM 1968
Who is this man who quietly enters the small VARA studio in Hilversum on June 22, 1968? Bill Evans. He has the figure of Yves Saint-Laurent, slim, and that same "pretend I'm not here" attitude. Smiling behind him are Puerto Rican drummer Jack Dejohnettes and bassist Eddie Gomez, his constant touring companion for several years. A month ago, they won a historic Grammy Award in Montreux, a kind of coronation for Bill Evans that confirms him at the top of his art. Evans knows like no other how to give true colors to life. A musician out of any category, out of any caste, everyone feels that he is this genius jazz tailor to whom a generation of pianists will dedicate respect and admiration. This is the first publication of this historic recording.
