Double Bass Bill Evans Trio - Montreux, 1968.

Besides the alternating choruses in 3/4, and 4/4, (during the solos), check out Mr. Evans' reharmonization (throughout ) using Emaj7,6,9,#11 in place of the usual "D7,#9,+5" in m.18 (the second measure of the second "A" section.)
Also Mr. Gomez was 24yrs old at the time. Yeah....24.
Thanks.
Here it is the first time:

I've always loved this album. I think it's particularly good because he for once has a drummer who's at his level and who's willing to kick his a**. That E substution you point out is a favorite change for me to throw in if I think the pianist isn't listening to me. You can kick that open E string there and, as Ron Carter likes to say, make him raise his eyebrows and listen.
 
Resonance has put out a few recordings from this tour that are the first time more of the Eddie and Jack band has been released. It seems like this was a very short lived lineup between Jack's stay with Charles Lloyd and Miles. I think Paul Motian took over the CL gig?
I'm pretty sure there must be a video of this that exists, too...
Thank you for this!
