This album occupies a unique place in the Bill Evans discography. It is the only album that documents the much too short stay of drummer Jack deJohnette in a trio. The trio's appearance on this album earned them a Grammy in 1969 for the best jazz instrumental album. When this set was recorded in Montreux on June 15, 1968, Eddie Gomez and Evans played together for two years. Gomez had a different virtuosity than Scott LaFaro in Evans' classic trio five years earlier, but he was clearly the best bassist Evans had worked with since LaFaro's tragic death. The groove between the two was deep and at the same time pleasant, so comfortable that Evans did something in this set he had never done before, at least on one recording: He put Gomez in the foreground for a whole piece, the almost seven minute long "Embraceable You".
