#30: Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Bill Evans (1961)

Bill Evans is one of the most influential jazz pianists from the 20th century. He's influenced artists such as Chick Correa and Herbie Hancock.

This album was recorded over 5 sessions in June of 1961, and was the final performance by the Bill Evans trio of the time, which included bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. LaFaro was killed in a car accident just ten days after this recording.

I'll admit that my knowledge of jazz piano is pretty much limited to Vince Guraldi (thanks to "A Charlie Brown Christmas). This was a fine album and is probably something that I would listen to again on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Favorite Tracks: "Alice In Wonderland (Take 2)" and "Solar"
