Bill Evans – Waltz for Debby (Music CD)

Bill Evans – Waltz for Debby (Music CD)
Recorded on the same night as Sunday At The Village Vanguard, Waltz For Debby captures one of the most important and well-integrated piano trios in the history of jazz, working on a superbly inspired night. It is clear, listening to this record, that bassist Scott Lafaro had a very special rapport with Evans, and drummer Paul Motian’s subtle, improvised accompaniments and eccentric, quirkily quiet swing was the perfect engine for this subtle, impressionistic pianist. Check out the lovely, gentle ‘My Foolish Heart’, and the lively ‘Milestones’ and, of course, ‘Waltz For Debby’.
