Bill Evans, Inner Spirit: The 1979 Concert at the Teatro General San Martin, Buenos Aires

THIS ISSUE: You can never own too many Bill Evans records.

Do we need yet another unearthed recording of the Bill Evans trio? I count 22 albums or boxed sets—a total of 49 polycarbonate or vinyl discs—of posthumously released sessions, many of them in just the last few years. But this latest discovery, recorded in Buenos Aires in September 1979, is a stunner. So, to answer the question above: Yes, we do need this recording.

The Resonance 2-LP set (also available as 2 CDs; both sets include extensive photos and—as Resonance has titled the album—qualifies for a Revinylization pick. It’s one of the best late-era Evans albums, period.
