Used 1975 Victor Musical Industries Japanese Import Stereo Remaster of Classic 1961 Riverside Release of Bandleader/Master Composer/Pianist Bill Evans Entitled Waltz for Debby, Produced by Orrin Keepnews, Recording Engineer Is Dave Jones, Album Recorded at the Village Vanguard in New York City June 25 of 1961 - "Recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1961, shortly before Scott LaFaro's death, Waltz for Debby is the second album issued from that historic session, and the final one from that legendary trio that also contained drummer Paul Motian. While the Sunday at the Village Vanguard album focused on material where LaFaro soloed prominently, this is far more a portrait of the trio on those dates. Evanschose the material here, and, possibly, in some unconscious way, revealed on these sessions -- and the two following LaFaro's death (Moonbeams and How My Heart Sings!) -- a different side of his musical personality that had never been displayed on his earlier solo recordings or during his tenures with Miles Davis and George Russell: Evans was an intensely romantic player, flagrantly emotional, and that is revealed here in spades on tunes such as "My Foolish Heart" and "Detour Ahead." There is a kind of impressionistic construction to his harmonic architecture that plays off the middle registers and goes deeper into its sonances in order to set into motion numerous melodic fragments simultaneously. The rhythmic intensity that he displayed as a sideman is evident here in "Milestones," with its muscular shifting time signature and those large, flatted ninths with the right hand. The trio's most impressive interplay is in "My Romance," after Evans' opening moments introducing the changes. Here Motian's brushwork is delicate, flighty and elegant, and LaFaro controls the dynamic of the tune with his light as a feather pizzicato work and makes Evans' deeply emotional statements swing effortlessly. Of the many recordings Evans issued, the two Vanguard dates and Explorations are the ultimate expressions of his legendary trio." - Wonderful Personnel for the Famous Original Trio Features Legendary Composer Bill Evans on Piano, the Great Scott LaFaro on Bass and the Brilliant Paul Motian on Drums! - Selections on Side 1 Are Ned Washington/Victor Young's My Foolish Heart, the Bill Evans Penned Title Track & the Lou Carter/Herb Ellis/John Frigo Standard Detour Ahead - Tracks for Side 2 Are Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart's My Romance, the Betty Comden/Adolph Green/Leonard Bernstein Classic Some Other Time and Original Miles Davis Composition Milestones - Used Copy, Cover Near Mint, Record Mint- - Stereo Recording, Japanese Import, Product Code SMJ-6118 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
