The Michel Legrand-penned title track, performed twice on the album, would of course take on an added poignancy following Evans' death in September 1980, and it's a nice melancholy track to base this album around. There are some great uptempo moments here, especially a fine take on Herbie Hancock's Dolphin Dance and sole original The Opener. For the most part, though, the tight group improvisation of Evans' final trio shines best in their restrained moments, finishing on a gorgeous bit of Bacharach in A House Is Not A Home.
