Reissue with latest remastering. Comes with liner notes. There Comes a Time is an album by the jazz composer, arranger, conductor and pianist Gil Evans, recorded in 1975 and performed by Evans with an orchestra featuring David Sanborn, Howard Johnson, Billy Harper. So, in a rather silent way, we've got a FULL version of this album. There Comes A Time comes not only with a 3 bonus tracks (that are marked jsut modestly somewhere on the obi), but with a full, over 19-minutes version of "The Meaning Of The Blues", that originaly take not even 6 minutes. Absolute must for a fusion fan, great guitar solos by Kawasaki ("There Comes A Time" sounds like a hell of tribute to Mahavishnu Orchestra) and horns.

Pete Townshend and the Deep End Band played live for two benefit outings – November 1 and 2, 1985 at the Brixton Academy – to help support Townshend's own "Double O' Charities. The performances are excerpted here and were used in a made-for-home-video, also called Pete Townshend's Deep End Live!. Initially, a promotional 12" EP of the show was released to AOR radio stations in August of 1986. However, significant interest in the project would ultimately yield a 10-song LP which was issued to retail a few months later.

Ryo Kawasaki, who appears as a soloist on this album, is being remastered.

Gil Evans celebrated his 75th birthday shortly before this session was issued in Japan. He was not looking back, judging from the progressive, animated quality of these numbers. They included some extensive, rollicking numbers, songs with multiple movements, and energized solos from John Clark on French horn, trumpeter Lew Soloff, bass trombonist Dave Tucker, and bassist Mark Egan. Special guest Johnny Coles chimed in on "Half Man, Half Cookie." Some critics rapped Evans' '80s orchestras for their almost chaotic sound and loose feel. But Evans wanted a sprawling sensibility, and although his bands often seemed disorganized, they always maintained discipline in the midst of what others thought sounded like musical anarchy.
