The bassist is Eddie Gomez, a young rising star who replaced his predecessor Chuck Israel as a regular member of the trio from 1966 to 1978, and the drummer is Bill Evans, who had been with the trio for only one year but had made a name for himself playing with a number of musicians. The drummer is Alex Reel, who has been with the trio for only one year but has made a name for himself playing with many musicians.The band members have changed since the previous year's archive, and the sharp standard numbers and creative interplay are outstanding! Bonus tracks include two additional performances in Denmark/Sweden in 1970 with Marty Morrell, who joined the band in 1968 and became a regular drummer.
