Bill Evans, Behind the Dikes: The 1969 Netherlands Recordings, 2021 on Elemental Music

Zev Feldman of Resonance Records teamed up (as Producer, Liner Notes, and Researcher) with Elemental Music for yet another Bill Evans live set from the 1960s. These were often bootlegged but get official high quality treatment here.

The recordings were made at KRO Studio I in Hilversum March 26th, 1969 and RAI Congrescentrum Amsterdam November 26th, 1969. Evans is joined by Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell. The release was mastered by Bernie Grundman and pressed by Standard Vinyl, with an insert booklet with photos, essays, and interviews. It’s a great package.

My copy—via private sale—is the 3xLP 2021 deluxe edition, numbered, on 180 gram vinyl, which was issued for Record Store Day 2021.

“Again though, a recording has to speak to me. I’m not looking to chase down just any tape. It’s gotta hit a nerve. Just because I get to be a kid in a candy store doesn’t mean all that candy gets eaten or shown to the public. We must be guardians. We have to be the keepers of the flame. We need to look out for the best for these artists and their legacies. Especially when they’re not here to defend themselves. The project has to do something to complement their legacy, or we’re not going to put it out. ” - Zev Feldman

Anyone know… Is #ElementalMusic, a “reissue” label in Spain, just another bootlegger? What’s the story? Why isn’t Impulse or Blue Note reissuing their own releases? https://www.elemental-music.com/
