DAVE PIKE QUARTET FEAT BILL EVANS Pikes Peak

LP Limited Edition 180g Black Vinyl

This LP was vibraphonist Dave Pikes 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 pianists 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)
