Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
This album is truly enjoyable. Side two isn't too shabby either. There's a hint of what seems like transmission line interference, but it's barely noticeable, just as track B1 kicks off. The tunes are fantastic, with stellar performances, a clean, quiet pressing, and a booklet included. If you're into Bill Evans' work, I'd definitely suggest picking this one up.
Occasional drop-outs, a couple of tape wobbles, and some glitches on B1 that resemble digital distortion or leftovers from a digital noise reduction tool. The audio quality isn't top-notch – but it's not the absolute worst either. The musicians, though, are fully committed, giving it their all.
5 stars for the tunes. 4 stars for the audio quality on side A. One star for sound quality on side B - a lot of digital, high-frequency noise and harsh highs. Odd how experts could let this slip - and how Bernie Grundman would attach his name to it. Disappointing. Be ready to only play side A.
[Reviewing copy #0239/5000] Honestly, I'm starting to hit my limit with all these recovered Elemental (and Resonance) tapes. Here, our main guy and his two buddies are playing in Copenhagen for a couple of different shows. The songs are all ones we've heard before, but they throw in some extra creativity on "Waltz For Debby". Side A has the trio taking a few more risks than usual, and it really pays off. The sound quality (Side A) is alright, not amazing. It's mixed well, with Chuck's bass standing out. There are some issues on side B, especially with the drums and audience clapping, making them sound really weird. If you're a fan of the VV album, you get two more shots at enjoying a sweet "My Foolish Heart". The packaging comes with a lovely color gatefold cover with great artwork, and a nice booklet. I paid full price for this and wouldn't recommend it. If you spot it in the bargain bin, snag it. 3.5 stars.
