Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961) |
Waltz for Debby (1961) |
Sunday at the Village Vanguard is a 1961 (see 1961 in music) album by jazz musician Bill Evans. It was recorded live at the Village Vanguard in New York City. It was the third album and the final performance by the trio of Evans, bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian (the album Waltz for Debby was taken from the same session). LaFaro was killed in a car accident ten days after the recording.
This album is routinely ranked as one of the best live jazz recordings of all time [1].

[edit] Re-Issue
In 2006, Riverside issued a three-CD box set containing virtually all the material recorded at the Village Vanguard (one number has been lost). While all of this music was available on the Riverside Bill Evans box set, this re-issue has had the audience ambience enhanced and includes introductions, on-stage discussions between the musicians, interaction with the audience, and a few bars of music that Evans improvised to fill out the tape at the end of the night.
