Featuring Scott LaFaro (bass) and Paul Motian (drums).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most influential artists in the history of jazz, Bill Evans was known for his conversational interplay within his trios, his lyrical compositions and his matchless approach to the piano. In 1959, after a year with Miles Davis' sextet, Evans embarked on a new chapter with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian – a unit that would redefine the notion of the piano trio. Over the next two years, the group recorded four foundational titles together, beginning with \u003cem\u003ePortrait in Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eExplorations\u003c\/em\u003e. Their final two albums, 1961's \u003cem\u003eSunday at the Village Vanguard\u003c\/em\u003e and 1962's \u003cem\u003eWaltz for Debby\u003c\/em\u003e were both captured live on June 25, 1961, at New York City's legendary Village Vanguard club. Tragically, that would be the last time that the trio would play together, as LaFaro was killed in a car accident days later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSunday at the Village Vanguard\u003c\/em\u003e was intended to be a tribute to LaFaro's talents – bookended by two of the bassist's compositions (\"Gloria's Step\" and \"Jade Visions\") and showcasing his best solos from that summer day. What resulted is arguably one of the greatest live jazz recordings of all time. The trio's exquisite unity is on display throughout the album, which also includes several crowd-pleasing standards (Cole Porter's \"All of You, \" George Gershwin's \"My Man's Gone Now\" and Sammy Fain's theme to Alice in Wonderland) plus a rendition of Miles Davis' \"Solar.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tone Deaf Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67682183381142,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3315\/5912\/files\/R-1651340-1584207540-1610_0b74d4cf-803e-4caf-afd6-4d0e5e0d2f88.jpg?v=1794594553","url":"https:\/\/tonedeafrecs.com\/products\/new-evans-bill-sunday-at-the-village-vanguard-lp","provider":"Tone Deaf Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
