Jazz / Modal Music; Cool
Recorded: June 25, 1961, Village Vanguard, New York, New York
Bill Evans Trio
Bill Evans - piano
Scott LaFaro - bass
Paul Motian - drums
The release of this CD was a bit of a frivolity. The music that pianist Bill Evans, bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian recorded at the Village Vanguard during a well documented night had already been reissued on these two CDs (with the exception of one alternate take): Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby. This particular reissue takes "the best of" those performances, reducing 13 selections and seven alternate takes down to one version apiece of ten songs. The music is brilliant but only tells part of the picture from that magical evening. Get the other two CDs instead.
