Synopsis

Album Description

On July 18, 1969, Evans took his trio with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell to Italy in order to inaugurate the Pescara festival located on the Adriatic coast. The group was recorded live on eleven tracks that were supposed to be broadcast for radio only. But much to the chagrin of Evans and his manager, the concert was released as limited edition on two Japanese CDs. This release contains Bill Evans' Peccary Festival performance, marking the first time all of these songs are found on one disc. 20-bit remastered. Lonehill. 2004.

CD Reviews

Officially released bootleg?

Toshio Fukuhara | Yokohama, Japan | 01/10/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"It started out okay (maybe 3.5 stars), only to find the sound quality deteriorates gradually (ends with 1 star). The last and Bill's best tune Waltz for Debby is almost inaudible and doesn't even start from the very beginning. I also noticed that, as if to escape from getting caught, the microphone was moving toward the end of this CD, and the sound gets "shaded." This may suggest that this was an armature bootleg live recording. Unless you are a collector or Bill Evans freak, you'd be better off avoiding this CD, simply because it's not worth the money.

There are much better recordings of similar tunes and periods available, such as Quiet Now and Serenity from Charly Records.
