New Mosaic Bill Evans Set

[otko...@sprynet.com]

Mosaic has a new Bill Evans set constituting his last recorded concert performances.
What's the review on the musical performances? Is this essential Bill Evans?

It's not Mosaic, it's on Warner Bros. It's six cds and it is
excellent. Some postings have asked about the sound...don't worry
about that...it's fine. Now, what I hear about the Milestone 'Secret
Sessions' material is another matter...that might be worth about
$50(unfortunately they're asking almost twice that). The WB album,
"Turn Out the Stars---the Final Village Vanguard Recordings---June
1980" belongs in your Evans collection.

It's the same as the WB cd set. There
is a one cd sampler if you want to try
before you buy.

I agree. I purchased both sets and the sound on the Secret Sessions
detracts greatly from the outstanding performance. It really is priced
too high and it is too bad that the sound could not have been remastered
to a higher quality, but what can you expect from tape recordings. What
troubled me was the representation on the back of the box that says the
sound is "really quite good."!
