Review by Ken Dryden
The legendary edition of the Bill Evans Trio featured impeccable drummer Paul Motian and ill-starred bassist Scott LaFaro; they made a handful of recordings for Riverside, but their only released live sessions came from their final engagement at the Village Vanguard in June, 1961. The release of these airchecks from four separate broadcasts is a welcome addition to their discography. There are three excellent takes of "Autumn Leaves," with the first kicked off by a long Scott LaFaro solo. Evans offers a stunning seven-minute "Nardis," which is possibly his earliest live recording of the piece that he would perform and record many more times. LaFaro delivers a compelling solo that only hints at the potential that was extinguished with his death in an auto crash following the famous 1961 Village Vanguard sessions. Even with the noise typically found in releases made from vintage radio broadcasts, this is a historic session worth the extra effort to locate.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
La legendaria edición del Bill Evans Trio contaba con el impecable batería Paul Motian y el malogrado bajista Scott LaFaro; realizaron un puñado de grabaciones para Riverside, pero sus únicas sesiones en directo publicadas procedían de su último compromiso en el Village Vanguard en junio de 1961. La publicación de estas grabaciones en directo de cuatro emisiones distintas es una adición bienvenida a su discografía. Hay tres excelentes tomas de «Autumn Leaves», la primera de las cuales comienza con un largo solo de Scott LaFaro. Evans ofrece un impresionante «Nardis» de siete minutos, que es posiblemente su primera grabación en directo de la pieza que interpretaría y grabaría muchas veces más. LaFaro ofrece un solo convincente que sólo insinúa el potencial que se extinguió con su muerte en un accidente de coche tras las famosas sesiones del Village Vanguard de 1961. Incluso con el ruido que suele haber en las grabaciones realizadas a partir de emisiones de radio antiguas, se trata de una sesión histórica que merece la pena localizar.
