AMG Review of Live in Paris 1972, Vol. 1
Ken Dryden
All Music GuideThe first of two CDs recorded for broadcast from a February, 1972 Paris Concert, this 45-minute set captures the Bill Evans Trio in excellent form, although the mood of this portion of the concert seems rather reserved overall. Evans opens with one of his favorite originals, "Re: Person I Knew," which is much slower than typical but absolutely captivating. Also notable are the dramatic "Turn Out the Stars" and top-notch versions of Scott LaFaro's "Gloria's Step" and Michel Legrand's timeless "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" The overall melancholy mood of this performance adds a new dimension to several of the pieces within it.
