Tuesday, June 25, 7:00-9:00 p.m., June 25, 1961 - Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard with the Larry McDonough Quartet (LMQ), Larry McDonough, piano, Richard Terrill, saxes and poetry, Greg Stinson, bass, and Dean White, drums, Black Dog Café, 308 Prince Street at the corner of Prince (4th Street) and Broadway, Lowertown, St. Paul. The Larry McDonough Quartet will celebrate the two live recordings of legendary pianist and composer Bill Evans, bassist and composer Scott Lafaro, and drummer Paul Motian on June 25, 1961 at the Village Vanguard. “Sunday at the Village Vanguard” and “Waltz for Debby” were the last recordings of this trio, as LaFaro died in a car accident just ten days after the live date at the Village Vanguard. The trio revolutionized jazz, with each member improvising at the same time while performing recognizable pieces.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek wrote of the album: “This trio is still widely regarded as his finest, largely because of the symbiotic interplay between its members. This is a great place to begin with Evans.” Samuel Chell of All About Jazz wrote “Along with bassist wunderkind Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, Evans perfected his democratic vision of trio cooperation, where all members performed with perfect empathy and telepathy... It is these performances, currently available as Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby that comprise the number one best jazz live recording in this present series.” The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Come see and hear the show that filled the Aster and Boom Island Brewing Company and Taproom.
