Doug R. has written a very interesting article. As for me, I am only now exploring beyond the Vill. Vang. recordings into his later work on Riverside. A nice surprise is the excellent sound quality of the Orpheum pressings.

Have not been on the site for some time now and came back to check out all that is good. I see a Bill Evans posting from Al and decide to take off another great LP Not related to the interest of this site , ( The Zombies, Odessey & Oracle 1968) and throw on Riverside 12-223. Thanks for the reminder. Sweet.

The album includes five selections recorded in New York City during 1961 with a 22 minute bonus track of LaFaro and Bill Evans practicing “My Foolish Heart” in late 1960 during a rehearsal.

Here’s the iTunes link:

Love that particular track… After I played it, I couldnt resist pulling a few more classic albums to listen to while reading the WSJ article you linked on what is an otherwise snowy winters eve:

(1.) Bill Evans live at the Top of the Gate
(2.) Bill Evens Trio – The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings
(3.)The Tony Bennett / Bill Evans Album

Thanks for sharing. Cheers !

I was lucky enough to find a VG+ first pressing of Waltz for Debby at a local record stores buried amongst a recent buy of Cannonball Adderly records. Apparently the store thought much more highly of the Cannonball LPs as the Evans cost me a whopping $13. One of my few ever scores.
