I love this quiet early Evans trio record. Even though I just posted Evans a couple of days ago, this recording seems to sit perfectly with the 22 inches of snow I got. I suppose that justifies the version of "Santa Claus" included on this lp.What may seem like a light, dismissable recording stands the test of time come daylight.
Had this record been recorded just a few years later, it would have been a CTI release. And it sounds every bit like one.
And it heralds the great things by Evans yet to come.
And totally unrelated to the music, a fantastic cover.

I love this record, and these cats at this time in their careers, thanks. This is OOP??!! Shame on "Them"!
This is magnificent record. The best after the famous trio. Thanks for sharing!
Moes, you got it right and then some. I was excited when "Trio 65" was released, not realizing at the time how important Gary Peacock was to this absolutely amazing "Trio 64."
