5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Trio, 9 Oct 2003
By MikeG (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This album by “the last trio” – with Marc Johnson on bass and Joe LaBarbera on drums – was recorded in 1979, the year before Evans’s death. He came to feel that this trio had some of the qualities of the great “first trio” with Scott La Faro and Paul Motian. However, one of the immediately striking differences from that first trio is Evans’s more energetic, uninhibited approach to the material. Although he had, in his own words, “always had good facility” as a pianist, it was, in his earlier work, something he often seemed to want to conceal rather than display. Perhaps this was partly a desire to place technique at the service of the music rather than to show it off for its own sake, perhaps partly a reflection of his modest, self-critical nature. But in his work with this last trio he seems to revel in his “facility” almost as much as in his musical inventiveness, and this shows itself not only in the vigorous, exuberant playing in the faster numbers but also in the more probing, exploratory, virtuosic style he employs in slower pieces such as “Quiet Now”, “I Love You Porgy” and “Minha (All Mine)” - there are moments on the latter solo piano feature when you could be forgiven for thinking you are listening to a Rachmaninov prelude.

So although there are some familiar Evans vehicles here, they show a freshness of treatment that makes them very different from earlier versions, full of new discovery and a freer, more adventurous approach to the tunes and their chord sequences. Along with this musical assertiveness there is also an element of crowd-pleasing in the performance. “My Romance” is a good example: it begins with a teasing long introduction which gives few clues as to the tune which is to follow and which builds dramatically until the tension is finally released with the theme statement, followed by a robust, searching improvisation. It then becomes a vehicle for some strong solos from bass and drums. The ‘keep them guessing’ intro is a trick which Errol Garner liked to play on his audiences and which Keith Jarrett has sometimes adopted with his “Standards” trio, but it’s interesting to hear it exploited by a pianist like Evans not previously noted for dramatic gestures or extrovert showmanship, and he does it again on “Beautiful Love”.

The more subtle, gentle sides of his musical persona, along with the familiar “singing” qualities in his playing, are still in evidence in the ballads, perhaps most notably in a beautiful reading of Paul Simon’s “I Do It For Your Love”; but the predominant feeling you get from this album is of a great musician, newly inspired, pushing himself – and being pushed by his younger accompanists – through a new phase of creative development in his music. It’s still sad to contemplate that it was to end all too soon, but some consolation that the Evans catalogue has several other recordings (including Volume 2 of this Paris concert) of the work of that final year which, like this one, captured the pianist and the trio in such inspired form.
