AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I had the good luck to ‘undergo’ the Bill Evans-experience a few weeks before this music was recorded, at the Gouvy Jazz Festival, in the hills of the Ardennes, in 1980 only if month before his poassing

This is what AllMusic has to say:

‘A moving finale to a remarkable career, The Last Waltz & Consecration were recorded during a nine-night stand at San Francisco's legendary Keystone Korner one week prior to jazz piano icon Bill Evans' death at age 51. With the youthful rhythm team of Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera providing telepathic support, Evans turns in some of the most magnificent performances of his 25-year career. Aware that his days were numbered, he played with the creative drive and improvisational intensity with which he had long ago made his mark. (...)

If one assembles these two collections with the Warner Bros.-released final Village Vanguard concerts, Turn Out the Stars, there is undeniable evidence that not only was Evans in a state of creative rebirth at the end of his life, but was perhaps at his zenith as a composer, arranger, and -- above all -- as an improviser. The excellent and technically revelatory liner notes to this collection by Bob Doerschuk go a long way toward explaining exactly what it was that Evans was up to on that stand with his piano and his band. They offer lucid, accessible, and picturesque descriptions of the mechanics of the music (...) What is most important is the intensity and emotional honesty of the performances, and, of course, the nearly spiritual communication between the members of the trio. (...)
The sound on these boxes is top-notch, even crystalline. (...)

But be forewarned: this is the beginning of a very addictive -- and extremely moving -- listening experience.”
