Recording information: Village Vanguard, New York, NY (01/11/1974/01/12/1974).
Recorded live at the Village Vanguard in 1974 with Eddie Gomez (bass) and Marty Morell (drums), the performances on SINCE WE MET lack the fire of Evans' seminal 1961 Vanguard dates with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. The album does, however, find the later trio in an exploratory, somewhat freer mood. The pianist's playing is assured and smooth as always, with Gomez supplying smooth support and fluid phrasing. Morell seems to just be along for the ride but does manage to pull off some interesting stuff in his own, understated way. Overall, SINCE WE MET is certainly not the finest Bill Evans album but would make a nice addition to the collection of those who already own his early '60s Village Vanguard records (and INTUITION) or just want to hear the Evans/Gomez/Motian trio in a relaxed club setting.
