Bill Evans – Waltz for Debby

This release contains in its entirety, the original LPs culled from the celebrated 1961 Village Vanguard sessions by the Bill Evans Trio: Waltz For Debby – (Riverside RLP9399). This would also be the last recording by this formation of the group, with Scott LaFaro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums, as LaFaro would die soon after 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.
