Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing a triumphant, Grammy Award-winning performance in Switzerland, this album introduces a revitalized trio featuring the intensely propulsive drumming of Jack DeJohnette and bassist Eddie Gómez. The new rhythm section pushes the traditionally introspective pianist into surprisingly aggressive, highly kinetic improvisational flights, bringing a forceful new energy to his lyrical repertoire. The recording beautifully documents a rare period of overt extroversion in his catalog.
