Description
5CD set with comprehensive 20-page booklet of all of the recorded output by the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian Trio, both live and in the studio.Widely regarded as Evan's finest and most important trio, largely because of the symbiotic interplay between its members and the influence it displayed among all of the modern jazz piano trios that followed.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz: "This is music which continues to provoke marvel and endless study." (Richard Cook & Brian Morton).
Presented here in a single set are the recordings by the Bill Evans Trio with Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums, including their studio sessions, their exciting 1960 Birdland broadcasts, and their immortal live sets at New York's Village Vanguard.
