Consecration: The Final Recordings Part 2 is an 8-CD box set live album by jazz pianist Bill Evans with Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera recorded during a nine night residency at Keystone Korner in San Francisco in 1980 and released on the Milestone label in 2002.[1] Additional recordings from this concert series were released as The Last Waltz: The Final Recordings in 2000.
Reception
[edit]Thom Jurek of Allmusic stated "there is undeniable evidence that not only was Evans in a state of creative rebirth at the end of his life, but was perhaps at his zenith as a composer, arranger, and — above all — as an improviser".[2]
