• This release presents all master takes from the legendary 1961 Village Vanguard sets by the Bill Evans Trio. Two classic albums were culled from these sets: Sunday at the Village Vanguard (Riverside RLP9376) and Waltz for Debby (Riverside RLP9399). It would be the last recording by this formation of the group, with Scott LaFaro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums, as LaFaro died ten days later in a car crash, on July 6, 1961, at the age of 25. Evans, who loved LaFaros playing, would take a long hiatus before forming a new trio.

  The celebrated Village Vanguard was, and fortunately still is, a jazz club located at 178 7th Avenue South in Greenwich Village, New York City. It was opened on February 22, 1935, by Max Gordon and at first, it also featured other forms of music such as folk music
