Montreux II is a live album by jazz pianist Bill Evans with Eddie Gómez and Marty Morell, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1970 and released on the CTI label.[1] The album was the second of Evans' Montreux concert recordings to be released, following the Grammy Award-winning Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival (1968).
The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 3½ stars and stated, "While this is a terrific live performance, there are sound problems, including what sounds like bleeding of the stage monitors into the mix, and there are muddy spots in the recording as well".[2]
