Make yourself comfortable in the front row of New York's jazz club's Top of the Gate! The recording captures two complete sets by the Bill Evans Trio with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell on October 23, 1968 at Art D'Lugoff's legendary club.
On two 45 RPM LPs, the private atmosphere of the evening comes across atmospherically, the recording quality literally makes the listener sit on stage. Due to the clever microphone placement, the audience conversations, which were common for the time, are kept in the background, the focus is on the great playing of the young trio. The musicians had only just found each other, but the chemistry was already absolutely right; no wonder that years of cooperation followed. Evans fans can look forward to early recordings of some classics from his repertoire, mastered on Nagra equipment by René Laflamme.
