Sunday At The Village Vanguard

The Bill Evans- Scot LaFaro- Paul Motian Trio recorded two studio albums, but they would reach a climax with their June 25, 1961 club recordings at the Village Vanguard in New York. LaFaro would die in a car accident soon after (on July 6, 1961), at the age of twenty-five. Evans was so shocked by his bassist's death that he waited a long time before forming a new trio.
