Jack DeJohnette's six-month tenure as a member of the Bill Evans Trio – he left to heed the call of Miles Davis – had audiences ever after wanting more after their solitary representation on record, Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival (Verve) won a Grammy award. Fifty years on, albums by the group are coming at us thick and fast, thanks to the archival research of jazz detective Zev Feldman. In 2016 came Some Other Time, a previously unreleased studio session recorded five days after the Verve album, in 2018 came Another Time, recorded two days later by the Netherlands Radio Union of a concert in Hilversum, and now the indefatigable Feldman has come up with Bill Evans Live at Ronnie Scott's, a memento of the trio's month-long 1968 residency at the famous London club. A feature of Resonance records and CDs is the archival work included with each release – interviews, essays and, in this instance, liner notes by Jazzwise's Brian Priestly, who saw the trio at Scott's. While the sound on the 2016 and 2018 releases are of a high professional standard, this album was recorded by DeJohnette as a personal documentation and there are there are occasional lapses in sound quality. However, from the start – ‘Sleepin’ Bee' – there's an animation in Evans' playing that would not resurface until his final few years, for example the box sets Turn Out the Stars (Warner Bros.) and Consecration (Milestone). The impact of Evans' playing is in no way diminished by the slight drop in sound quality; with each succeeding number he seems to be digging deeper into his imagination, frequently unearthing gems in a documentation of one of greatest jazz musicians in peak form.
