Bill Evans Trio – Sunday at the Village Vanguard
March 16, 2010
“Sunday at the Village Vanguard is a 1961 (see 1961 in music) album by jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans. It was recorded live on June 25, 1961 at the Village Vanguard in New York City over five recorded sessions (2 matinee and 3 soiree). It is well remembered as the final performance by the Evans trio of the time, which included bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. LaFaro was killed in a car accident ten days after the recording.
Evans and producer Orrin Keepnews reportedly selected the tracks for Sunday at the Village Vanguard to best feature LaFaro’s masterful performance on bass, beginning and ending with two tracks (Gloria’s Step and Jade Visions) written by LaFaro himself, and with all the others featuring solos by him. This album is routinely ranked as one of the best live jazz recordings of all time.”
