[SACD-R][OF] Bill Evans Trio – Waltz For Debby - 2002 (Jazz)

This is the 2nd of 2 Riverside albums made up of selections recorded by the classic Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, & Paul Motian trio at their legendary live recording session of June 25, 1961. Although originally issued a half-year later than Sunday At The Village Vanguard, this was by no means an afterthought collection of lesser items: Evans & producer Orrin Keepnews immediately recognized that there was more than enough material for 2 top-level records. The dozen chosen performances were subdivided to enable the 1st album released to feature LaFaro–who died in an auto accident just 10 days after recording. Thus this 2nd collection can fairly be said to present a more typical overview of this remarkable unit at work.
