Time Remembered: John McLaughlin Plays Bill Evans is an album by John McLaughlin. It was recorded in March 1993 and released on the Verve label in 1993. The album reached number 10 in the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart.^[4]

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album with 2 stars and the review by Scott Yanow states: "...more mood and tempo variations would have kept this from being such a sleepy and overly respectful session."^[1] Whereas Walter Kolosky in his All About Jazz review is far more positive stating: "Time Remembered is a beautiful and fully realized tribute. The sound is full and rich, and the playing is strong and forthright all around. McLaughlin’s soloing is fluid, occasionally too dense, but never misdirected."^[2]
