Waltz for Debby

Recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1961, shortly before Scott LaFaro's death. Waltz for Debby is the second album issued from that historic session, and the final one from that legendary trio that also contained drummer Paul Motian.

When one sits and listens to this record (whether it be a CD or Vinyl) you are immediately transported back into time and if one closes ones eyes you can visualize the smokey room, the clink of glasses, the gentle hum of voices and the most amazing sound to radiate from a Piano to encompass the entire room.

Jazz, not just a word but a way of life for many musicians now and those that came before. This particular album is a real jem, like a well cut diamond that has had all its rough edges smoothed out and it doesn't just glow it radiates heat within the soul.

The material that Evans choose to put on this "Waltz for Debby" is very revealing in its emotions that runs deep within a Trio that is as closely knit at this Trio was.

This is a must listen to record for all Jazz people, and those that are just learning about the quality of the great Jazz Players of past times.
