This interesting album was originally released posthumously in 1982. Pianist
Bill Evans is featured on four duets with his longtime bassist
Eddie Gomez in 1974-75, exploring a quartet of superior standards. The second half of the program (which dates from 1973 and 1975) is not on the same level.
Evans is heard playing two songs he was not all that familiar with late at night at a club, and he performs two other songs and a wandering medley while rehearsing in a recording studio. Being a musical perfectionist, it is a bit doubtful if he would have wanted this music to be released although longtime
Bill Evans collectors will find the explorations to be intriguing. ~ Scott Yanow
