Reuniting with drummer Shelly Manne and introducing bassist Eddie G贸mez, 'A Simple Matter of Conviction' captured Bill Evans refining his signature piano trio format. G贸mez's virtuosic, highly interactive bass playing revitalized the group's dynamic, initiating an eleven-year musical partnership with Evans. The album demonstrates Evans's continuing exploration of complex harmonic interplay and profound lyricism.
