I’ve written about my love/hate relationship with Brad Mehldau several times (see here for example), but Vol. This is Evans’s latest trio, and actually his very final recording before his early passing.ĭo I prefer Consecration over Waltz For Debby, or vice versa? Why decide? Get both! Brad Mehldau: The Art of the Trio Vol. My Rating: 5 stars Bill Evans Trio: ConsecrationĬonsecration is already mentioned as part of my 25 Essential Jazz albums. Musically in any case, this album, is an absolute must have and really helped define the category of the Jazz Piano Trio. I’ll leave it to others to debate which of the several available remasters is the best, and will recommend the HDtracks version which is already pretty good.
The advantage of getting the individual Waltz For Debby album is that you can try to find one of the many audiophile remasters. You’ll see it popping up a number of times below in this post. If you want more of it, you can also get The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings 1961 box, which includes the titles above. The Village Vanguard is one of the legendary NYC jazz clubs that is still open today. Waltz for Debby is part of several recordings taken by the trio live at the Village Vanguard. I don’t necessarily agree, as I really love his later trios very much as well. Many still consider this early trio his best. Unfortunately, LaFaro passed away in an accident shortly after the album below was recorded. He started, after the work with Miles Davis, with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. Bill Evans during his career had three major trios (see also this blog post on his middle trio). I’ll mention Bill Evans twice on this blog post. I’ve previously written about this album here, and it is worth having already for the outstanding title track. Cannonball Adderley: Mercy Mercy Mercy – Live At “The Club” (Capitol 1966) Some of them I’ve written about previously, some of them are new to this blog. The OP was particularly interested in small Jazz club-type venues, so this further limited the selection to the following 9 albums. Triggered by “Route66″‘s question, I went through my album library and had a look at which live albums I can particularly recommend. I have previously written about my 25 Essential Jazz albums, but had never done a specific post on live jazz albums. Live Jazz Recordingsįurthermore, given my workload, I’ll shamelessly steal from my own forum post here at Computer Audiophile, where I post quite regularly on music, and less so on audio gear. The best you can do, instead of having to check back on my somewhat unreliable posting schedule, is just to sign up with your email on the right, so new updates will come to your inbox, or follow me on WordPress. I’ll still try to get a blog post done every two weeks. Recently I’ve traveled on average 2-3 times per week, so my blogging has taken a back seat. I work in a completely unrelated industry. As many of you know, this really isn’t my day job.
