5 out of 5 stars As good as it gets.......2007-01-10

The reviews look a bit excessive, don't they? They're not. Wonderful beyond words.

5 out of 5 stars Truely move.......2006-10-23

Bill evans is famous for his melody , his harmony , his tone . His jazz is not depict the technique side , he is just like a poet , he makes the jazz music into the deeper side , and made it more rich. In this live concert , we can really see , just a simple note can moves us .

5 out of 5 stars In memoriam of a poet!.......2006-05-11

Bill Evans constituted the great exponent of the lyrical jazz, expressed in the intimacy of small Halls (as the Blue Note). His inspirational mood and captivating expression created an atmosphere of ineludible seduction.

He was a true poet and remark this epithet in the sense of creator of new possibilities and lyrical hues. His early loss left many unfinished projects as to record a whole session with Oscar Peterson (imagine that dream come true);but at least he left the best of his craft for the posterity.

Waltz for Debby was arguably, his best referential card, a sublime work loaded of exquisite lyricism and sumptuous refinement.
An album to treasure.

5 out of 5 stars Actually Six or Seven Stars or maybe Eight..........2006-02-01

The definition of a piano jazz trio. I'll leave it to people who know what they are talking about to describe the technicalities of the music. For the layperson, this is piano jazz at its best. I can't get enough Evans, but if I had to take one Evans recording to the proverbial desert island...this is it. The title track is, maybe, my favorite piece of music of any sort. It's light, it's buoyant, it's whimsical, it's melancholy, it's playful, it's timeless, it's Bill Evans, Scott Lofaro and Paul Motian making magic. If for some reason you are on the fence about this recording, climb down off the fence, punch the appropriate keys and order this CD.

5 out of 5 stars The ultimate in beauty.......2006-01-05

If time travel were ever possible, my destination should be The Village Vanguard, NYC on June 25th, 1961. On this day the Bill Evans Trio played two sets in the afternoon and three sets in the evening. The results are the ultimate in beauty in a musical form. In my opinion, Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro (on double bass) & Paul Motian (on drums) created moments that no other jazz piano trio will ever surpass or be equaled to in the future.

The recordings of the day at the Village Vanguard are available on two CDs-"Sunday at the Village Vanguard" and "Waltz for Debby." If you ever feel like enjoying piano jazz, please try "Waltz for Debby." I would accept my fate if I had to listen to nothing but this CD for the rest of my life.
