Music reviews of Last European Concert: Bad Honningen Perf 1980
Music Review: Bill Evans' Last Trio was His best
Rating: 5 Stars
The last trio led by Bill Evans, with Marc Johnson on bass and Joe LaBarbera on drums, was his greatest and Evans said that many times. His playing and composing reached new heights and this recording is one of the few available (the two 8CD boxsets, of his last extended engagement just before his death, are another great document). Please ignore the other review, apparently by someone not familiar with Evans' great resurgence in his last year. The Paris concert, released officially, may be somewhat better recorded, but this is essential.

Description of Last European Concert: Bad Honningen Perf 1980
When the recordings compiled on this CD were made, very late in Bill Evans' career and life, he was ostensibly ill and he was to die just one month later, on September 15, 1980. It was his last recorded performance both in Germany and in Europe. By then Evans was playing with two young musicians: Marc Johnson and Joe La Barbera. It is marvelous indeed listening to this concert. The group proved to be very consistent, but it was to record only one studio album, called We Will Meet Again. Evans knew he didn't have much time left, so every one of his last performances showed a sense of reflection and full commitment. In the Bad H"nningen performance, most of the tunes are Evans's originals and some of them had been very recently added to the repertoire. Letter to Evan had been composed in 1979 for the fourth birthday of Bill's son, Evan.Jazz CDs
