Rooster_Ties Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) I used to own the Bill Evans Verve complete set (traded it for a couple hundred dollars towards some great vintage Danish Modern furniture a few years ago). Anyway, I've always been meaning to get the roughly 3-discs of live material from (I think) 1967, with Philly Joe as I recall (and if my Google-fu is accurate), from the Village Vanguard I believe. Some of this came from a regular album, but well more than half of the material from the rust-box was (then) previously unreleased. I seem to remember some reissue of just this Vanguard '67 material -- but can't seem to find anything definitive (or as comprehensive as what was on the rust-box). What's the most complete way to get this material (short of the rusty-option)? Would have burned a copy of just that material at the time, but I really dislike burns when legit (silver-disc) options are available.

John L Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) California Here I Come is only one CD. The two other CDs worth of material from this gig, I believe, have only been available on the Verve Box. You should of made some CDRs, dude! That goes for the 1964 gig at the Trident Club as well.

Matthew Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 The complete concert was released in Japan: I think there was also a three volumes also released in Japan, but outside of the rust-box, never in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, that's right. Was it ever a unified single release (3-discs, I'm guessing) in Japan, or (from the pics you posted), it looks like one double-disc, and one single. I guess the point is moot, as I would suspect it's long out of print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill B Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Verve-Japan released this set. I was hoping they would release the Trident material as well -nothing yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 he was Evans' favorite drummer - and though it may be the pot calling the kettle black, Evans' just couldn't deal with Jones' drug stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Philly Joe is killin' on here. That was my big draw. Seemed like more aggressive playing (overall, at least on the uptempo cuts) than I was otherwise used to hearing from Bill. These '67 live recordings with Philly seemed like my semi-ultimate "go-to" recordings of Bill Evans -- at least when last I heard them a few years ago.

I guess the point is moot, as I would suspect it's long out of print. The Evans sets pictured were released as two 2-disc sets, 46 tracks total, in 2004. UCCV-4111/2 & UCCV-4113/4.

brownie Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Not from 1967 (but 1978) but highly recommended: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
