Jazz piano legend Bill Evans' name is almost unthinkable without the word "Trio" coming to mind. But he did record a few--very few--albums in a group context. This session was recorded in May 1976, with longtime friend/musical associate Philly Joe Jones, and some new-to-Evans players: bass master Ray Brown, jazz guitar giant Kenny Burrell and the sublimely restrained bop tenor saxophonist Harold Land. There are no Evans tunes here, but the program is first-rate: Thad Jones' standard "A Child is Born" (a wistful gem), Michel Legrand's "Martina" (Brown shines here) and the cool-cat (think "Pink Panther") blues of the Burrell original "Bass Face" (featuring a gloriously big-toned solo from Land, that magically transports you to an after-hours club). Evans' playing is slyly swinging and relaxed--giving you the impression (almost) that this was a spontaneous jam session. If you want to hear a rare side of Evans, orif you just want to hear some pros deliver a set of fine & mellow jazz--QUINTESSENCE is highly recommended.
