London 2001This release presents, in chronological order, all surviving complete performances 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 RLP976) and Waltz for Debby (Riverside RLP999). 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 LaFaro’s playing, would take a long hiatus before forming a new trio.PERSONNEL:BILL EVANS, pianoSCOTT LaFARO, bassPAUL MOTIAN, drumsLive at the Village Vanguard, New York, June 25, 1961.INCLUDES 24-PAGE BOOKLETCD 1: Total Time: 76:4901 Alice In Wonderland [Alt Tk]02 My Foolish Heart03 All Of You [Alt Tk #1]04 My Romance05 Some Other Time06 Solar07 Gloria’s Step08 My Man’s Gone Now09 All Of You10 Detour Ahead [Alt Tk]11 Conversation12 Waltz For Debby [Alt Tk]CD 2.
