DAVE PIKE QUARTET FEAT BILL EVANS – Pike’s Peak
LP – Limited Edition 180g Black Vinyl
“This LP was vibraphonist Dave Pike’s second recording as a leader. Pike is joined by bassist Herbie Lewis, drummer Walter Perkins, and most notably pianist Bill Evans. It was one of the pianist’s first sessions after the tragic death of his bassist, Scott LaFaro, and gives listeners a rare opportunity to hear Evans this late in his career as a sideman. The music is fairly spontaneous. An excellent if generally overlooked straight-ahead set.” (Scott Yanow)
