In the Evenings Out There is an album by pianist Paul Bley, bassist Gary Peacock, drummer Tony Oxley and saxophonist John Surman recorded in 1991 and released on the ECM label in 1993.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 3 stars stating "This is a remarkable encounter between four top-notch musicians... Although the record falls solidly within the "free jazz" category, it has a mysteriously soothing, meditative quality. Fans of these four greats shouldn't miss it".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "The music is entirely collaborative and there are solo tracks, duos, and trios, with only one substantial group track, so the emphasis is on intimate communication across small but significant musical distances".[3]
