Resonance Records has released a Bill Evans’ title, Another Time: The Hilversum Concert, documenting a June 22, 1968, concert where the pianist is joined by drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Eddie Gomez. It’s something of a companion to the label’s Some Other Time: The Lost Session From The Black Forest, which was recorded at about the same time.
