Excellent 1973 performance

""Half Moon Bay" is an excellent performance by the trio that recorded the superb "Tokyo Concert" earlier in the year. This is classic Bill Evans for this period. Gomez plays well, although at times he is a bit showy for my taste (I've always felt Evans' best performances were from when he had either LaFaro or Johnson as his bassist). No matter, still an excellent performance by one of the finest jazz pianists ever."

"Buy the album. It is hard to find in your local store (I saw it once at Borders, missed my chance), so buy it here.
A great version of the Evans trio -- Morrell and Gomez. They seemed to lift themselves to an enthusiastic audience. Interesting to compare to some songs that overlap those on the great Village Vanguard lives sessions. These don't come off badly...which says "these don't come off badly when compared to the best Evans ever"."
