This seems like pretty rare Evans:

From the Product description:

2009 live archive release from the Jazz pianist containing two rare performances recorded in Northern Europe. The initial three tunes, appearing here on CD for the first time, were recorded during an informal visit to the house of Finnish composer Ilkka Kuusisto in Helsinki, Finland.

A YouTube video from the Helsinki live concerts:

In Lund 1975, Evans performed with Monica Zetterlund (voc), and the rhythm section of Eddie Gomez (b), Eliot Zigmund (d).

Not sure if this new release contains that portion or some trio material from the same time.

The Helsinki show is with Gomez/Marty Morell (d), I've seen the footage, very nice!

The Lund portion was released previously on a WestWind boot... Same material is included on the Jazz Lips release.

The three tunes that were taped at the home of Finnish composer Likka Kuusisto are in excellent sound on the CD

It seems like there's a DVD too:

It must contain something else - that nice 3-tune gig at this private house runs for 29 minutes only. The DVD is said to be 71 minutes on Amazon.

Yes, the other part of the DVD is from a 1966 programme titled 'The Universal Mind of Bill Evans'.
