Issued in 1982, two years after Evans' death, it documents a rarer trio line-up: Evans with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Philly Joe Jones. That combination matters, because Jones brings a harder rhythmic push than many listeners associate with Evans, giving these Vanguard sets an extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music balances elegance and bite. Standards such as \u003cem\u003eStella by Starlight\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIn a Sentimental Mood\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e'Round Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e are played with quick reflexes and real momentum, while the then-new \u003cem\u003eAlfie\u003c\/em\u003e shows how alert Evans remained to contemporary songcraft. Across the set, the appeal is in the trio's deep listening: Gomez is already a responsive, singing presence, and Evans answers with playing that is lyrical without ever turning passive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Verve Vault edition also makes clear why the album has stayed in circulation: it is not just another posthumous archive release, but a vivid snapshot of Evans in unusually fiery company, caught in one of the rooms most closely tied to his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP, 33RPM, 180g, Verve Vault, Black Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut from the original analog tape by Ryan K.
