An
album by the
Bill Evans Trio recorded
June 25, 1961 live at
The Village Vanguard in
New York City.
This album is considered a jazz piano masterpiece. The trio is at its peak: Evans on piano and Scott LaFaro on bass both have numerous wonderful solos and the two interact and improvise masterfully while drummer Paul Motian provides support.
Besides the virtuosity of the trio this album is also signifigant to many because it would be their last; 10 days after the recording Scott LaFaro would be dead, the result of a car accident.
