Bill Evans

1965 was a busy year in Bill Evans' career, beginning with a New York studio session on February 3, accompanied by Israels and Bunker. The session was issued as Trio 65. The trio then began a European tour where they were recorded in Paris on February 13. This is the concert included on the current release, which was taken from a radio broadcast.

As a bonus, the producers have added a rare radio broadcast from New York's Birdland, which also features Chuck Israels on bass, but with Paul Motian on drums. The announcer is Sidney "Symphony Sid" Torin. Torin presented many live broadcasts from Birdland, the Royal Roost, the Hi Hat and other venues, which were fortunately saved for posterity by the likes of Boris Rose and a few more aficionados, who were eagerly waiting at home with their recording machines, ready to capture the broadcasts' every note. In fact, that's possibly how these three tunes were preserved.
Total Time: 61:44 mins.
