Bill Evans - The Complete Live At The Village Vanguard 1961
Review by Mekhi
The Complete Live At The Village Vanguard 1961 by Bill Evans is a masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. This album captures the magic of Evans' live performances at the iconic New York jazz club, the Village Vanguard, in June 1961.
The album features a trio of Evans, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian, who are in perfect sync throughout the performance. The trio's interplay and improvisation are breathtaking, and their creativity and virtuosity are evident in every note they play.
The album includes six sets of music, with each set showcasing a different aspect of Evans' artistry. From the mesmerizing "Gloria's Step" to the haunting "Jade Visions," each set is a testament to Evans' unique approach to jazz piano.
The sound quality of the album is excellent, and the remastering has brought out the warmth and clarity of the original recordings. The liner notes are informative and insightful, providing a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time.
