Bill Evans - Some Other Time: The Lost Session from the Black Forest - 2 x 200g 45rpm vinyl LPs

2022 release

AAA Audiophile 200g 45rpm Double LP.
Mastered by René Laflamme from the Original Analog Master.
Cut All Analog at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

The recordings on this album constitute the material from a June 20th, 1968 studio session recorded by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS) and Joachim-Ernst Brendt in Germany's Black Forest. This is no ordinary recording. This enthralling Bill Evans session was recorded five days after a famous performance at the 1968 Montreux jazz festival by Evans, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette. Verve's Montreux live recording won a Grammy, but this studio session has been in the vaults ever since.

For the first time this album was mastered in all analog (AAA), from the original analog master. Mastered by René Laflamme at 2xHD Mastering lab and cut at Bernie Grundman at 45 RPM.
