bonus couple eddie electric gone heading hooked hoped meat moments needs nice original piano plays trio upbeat
My first foray into Evan's late-career albums, and it's even better than I had hoped for. Eddie Gomez on bass, and Evans even plays electric piano on a couple of bonus tracks. But the real meat is the original album. It's heading where it needs to be, but there are moments of surprisingly upbeat swinging, as well - and a nice take on 'Theme From M*A*S*H' ('Suicide Is Painless'). Once you've gone through the original trio recordings, you're going to be hooked for all you can get by Evans.
