"Another winner from Rene LaFlamme and 2XHD, and a worthy alternative for those that don't own a reel-to-reel tape deck to experience the wonders of this previously unreleased HansGeorg Brunner-Schwer Bill Evans MPS recording. Evans is accompanied on Some Other Time by one of his best post-Scot LoFaro trios featuring Eddie Gomez on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums. Recorded five days after Evans' legendary Montreux performance, Some Other Time is for the first time available in glorious all analog sound. (The 15-ips tape version of Some Other Time received a PF 2022 Writer's Award from me.) The sound here is simply gorgeous without some of the artificial piano sound haunting many Evans' recordings. Going to love Evans performing several tried and true jazz standards here including one of my favorite songs 'On Green Dolphin Street!'"
