Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: This live recording by the Bill Evans Trio at the Village Vanguard on June 25, 1961, marked the end of one of the most sublime instrumental combinations in jazz history when bassist Scott LaFaro died in a car accident 10 days later. This unit is underdocumented because Evans, a notorious perfectionist, was reluctant to record. The interchange between Evans on piano, LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums is balletic in its balance of emotional beauty and technical precision. Multiple takes of "Gloria's Step," "Alice in Wonderland," "All of You," and "Jade Visions" show how the invention these players brought to each performance makes repeated material sound like movements in a suite. --John Swenson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Evan's classic trioAnyone interested in the evolution of the jazz piano trio should purchase this album for it captures the great Bill Evans at the peak of his powers along with the late legendary bassist Scott LaFaro. Recorded in September of 1961 at the Village Vanguard, the trio's interplay is indeed telepathic but unfortunately several days later, Scott LaFaro would be tragically killed in an auto accident. Before I forget, let's not forget the contributions of drummer Paul Motian to this trio. At a time when many drummers would state the beat, Motian would imply it in his own way as Elvin Jones would in the famous Coltrane quartet. But this trio set the mode for other future trios to come since the bass also now had a voice rather than customarily maintaining ... Read More: Rating: - Essential jazz, essential musicRecorded in June, 1961 this album set at that time the standard for the piano-bass-drums jazz trio - a standard that has still not been surpassed. It is essential to any collection of jazz, or music for that matter. Rating: - AttitudeWhat intrigues me about the piano playing of Bill Evans is that he brought a hard driving attitude to classical forms. I can't imagine Evans' playing ever sounding out-dated. On this album, his rendition of Miles Davis' Solar can only be described as "Way out there." Rating: - Yes, it's that specialI read a lot about this, and thought it couldn't be that good. It is. "Waltz for Debby" is even finer. This was Genius at work. Rating: - WonderfulAnything Bill Evans plays is wonderful! I love his style of playing. This music is so calming. |
