Another piano trio, recorded in August-September 1980, and what a difference two decades make. Waltz for Debby caught Evans near the start of his career; The Last Waltz finds him at its end. This is an eight-disc box — documenting the late sets for all nine nights of his final gig at San Francisco's Keystone Korner — and it's worth buying the whole package. Evans still had the lyricism of his early days, but he laced on a broiling intensity. He seems possessed, as if he knew he was dying (as he did, at age 50, a week later) and he needed to say everything he'd stored up all at once. His trio-mates — bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joe LaBarbera — are as lithe as any he'd played with since LaFaro and Motian. This wasn't released until 20 years after the fact. It was worth the wait.
