Bill Evans - Live at Art D'Lugoff's: Top of the Gate (2012)

Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top of the Gate, a previously unreleased recording captured over a half century ago consists of two blistering sets recorded at the legendary venue in October, 1968. Digitally remastered from the original tapes, the album features one of jazz’s most prominent trios – pianist Bill Evans, drummer Marty Morell and bassist Eddie Gomez. This dazzling collection of jazz standards and classics from the Great American Songbook includes the standouts, “'Round Midnight,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Someday My Prince Will Come,” “Mother of Earl,” “Emily” and much more. Displaying their infectious energy and raw synergy, the album marks the only Evans recording ever released from The Village Gate. This stellar download has already been declared one of jazz’s greatest discoveries and is a vital addition to any collection.
