Our Take

Ah, Bill Evans, the man who made us all fall in love with jazz piano. Sunday At The Village Vanguard is a white vinyl treasure that shines as bright as Evans' tinkling ivories.

From the opening notes of "Gloria's Step," you know you're in for a treat. The trio, with Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums, play like a well-oiled machine, effortlessly weaving in and out of each other's musical tapestries.

Evans' delicate touch and thoughtful phrasing are on full display here, as he takes us on a journey through a selection of classic tunes and original compositions. Whether he's tackling a gentle ballad like "My Man's Gone Now" or swinging through the uptempo "Solar," Evans never fails to captivate.

The recording itself is top-notch, capturing the warmth and intimacy of the legendary Village Vanguard venue. You can almost feel the clinking of glasses and the murmur of the crowd as Evans works his magic on the keys.

In short, Sunday At The Village Vanguard is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. It's a timeless classic that showcases Evans at the height of his powers. So, grab a glass of your finest scotch, sink into your favourite armchair, and let Bill Evans serenade you into the night.
