Sunday At The Village Vanguard
Used Import - SMJ-6201
1977 Japanese reissue with obi and insert. Sunday at the Village Vanguard stands as one of the most intimate and influential live jazz recordings ever issued by the Bill Evans Trio, featuring the telepathic interplay of Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. Recorded live on June 25, 1961, at the legendary Village Vanguard, this session captures the trio at a creative peak—just days before LaFaro’s untimely passing. Rather than following a traditional piano-led structure, the group operates as a true collective, with LaFaro’s bass moving freely in melodic counterpoint and Motian’s drumming providing subtle, impressionistic texture. Evans’ touch is lyrical and spacious, allowing the music to breathe while maintaining a quiet intensity throughout. more
