At The Montreux Jazz Festival 180gr 2LP 45rpm

Bill Evans - piano

180-gram pressing by Quality Record Pressings! Now
at 45 RPM!

Cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab by
Acoustic Sounds

Old-style tip-on gatefold jacket by Stoughton
Printing

Winner of the 1969 Grammy for Best Jazz
Instrumental Album, Individual or Group!

'(Analogue Productions) reissued this album once
before, in 1994, on a single, 180-gram, 33.3 RPM
LP. Mastered by Bernie Grundman, it sounded better
than Verve's original pressing. The new 45,
mastered by Matt Lutthans and stamped on the late
Doug Sax's cutting gear, sounds better still.
There is a fiercely live quality to this pressing.
Instruments loom on the soundstage with 3D
precision. Gomez's bass is vibrant with wood: you
hear every pluck, and when he snaps a string, it
makes you jump. DeJohnette's trap set is equally
clear ? every bass beat, stick stroke, and cymbal
sizzle ? and when he takes a solo, it gets loud
but not muddy. Evans's color tones, shifting
harmonies, counterpoints, and pedal shifts have
never pierced the ambience so audibly, at least
not on other pressings of this recording.' ? Fred
Kaplan, Stereophile, October 2020

'Analogue Productions has done a superb job in
re-mastering Bill Evans ? At The Montreux Jazz
Festival to audiophile vinyl. The utilization of
45 RPM speed is a revelation. The atmospheric
'quiet' is at studio-level clarity. (When the
audience applauds at the end of a song, it is
almost startling). The detailed, precise tonality
of the instruments is incredible, especially with
a good pair of stereo headphones. Evans' piano is
percussive and crisp. All of the double bass
sounds are crystalline, and small touches like
brush on cymbal are showcased in the mix. The
vinyl pressing by Quality Record Pressings is
impeccable. ... This album is a jazz and
audiophile historical document. This would be a
valuable addition to any collection, especially
jazz aficionados and vinyl enthusiasts!' ? 5 stars
/ Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition, Aug. 17,
2020. Read the entire review here.

As others have noted, this album occupies a unique
place in the Bill Evans discography. It's the
only album to document drummer Jack deJohnette's
too-short stay in the trio. The trio's performance
on this album won them the 1969 Grammy for Best
Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group.

By the time this set was recorded, live in
Montreux on June 15, 1968, Eddie Gomez and Evans
had been playing together for two years. Gomez
provided a different brand of virtuosity to that
offered by Scott LaFaro in Evans's classic trio of
five years earlier but he was clearly the best
bass player Evans had worked with since LaFaro's
tragic death. The groove between the two was deep
and comfortable, so comfortable that in this set,
Evans did something he hadn't done before, at
least on a recording: he showcased Gomez for an
entire piece, the almost 7-minute-long
'Embraceable You.'

As the liner notes by Gene Lees reveal, Evan's
performance at the renowned jazz festival in the
nightclub of the Montreux Casino, one of the most
fashionable resorts in Switzerland, was one of his
best. He and Gomez played with more exuberance,
more happiness and more drive. Evans' brooding,
introspective musical side has been represented
well on records before; the bright side has been
too-little heard, but it's here in this album.

At the end of each number the audience exploded in
applause so stormy and extended that it had to be
heavily edited for the album.

For the 45 RPM 2LP edition of this sparkling Bill
Evans piano performance, we turned to mastering
engineer Matthew Lutthans, who cut the sides at
The Mastering Lab by Acoustic Sounds.

For this edition only the best vinyl pressing
would do ? a 180-gram super-silent
luxurious-sounding platter from Quality Record
Pressings, makers of the world's finest-sounding
LPs. And Stoughton Printing old-style tip-on
cardboard gatefold jacket with vibrantly
reproduced original artwork. How does it get any
better? Well, we've cut this edition at 45 RPM!
The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread
over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and
high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves
let your stereo cartridge track more accurately.

First-rate and top-notch, this album will make a
superb addition to your record collection.
