Editorial Reviews

This is the fourth and final album by one of the most influential groups in jazz history, a unit that redefined the notion of the piano trio. Recorded (like its companion volume Sunday at the Village Vanguard) just days before the highway accident that took bassist Scott LaFaro's life, it summarizes the level of creative interaction that made the Bill Evans Trio a harbinger of jazz possibilities in the coming decades. Evans, LaFaro, and Paul Motian play with astounding freedom in these performances, maintaining all the while a keen balance and a pervasive sense of beauty. The flow of tempos and moods underscores the depth of the trio's concept, casting a spell that remains undimmed some 50 years later.

The best modern jazz classics are revisited in the Original Jazz Classics Remasters series. Each title in the series features 24-bit remastering, original AND new liner notes, fully restored artwork, and bonus tracks (when available). --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Evans at his most easily lyrical, with the extraordinary bassist Scott LaFaro, who died in a car crash soon after. With its companion from the same day, "Sunday Afternoon at the Village Vanguard," this is as good as melodic yet inventive jazz gets. Layne Longfellow

I had recently purchased 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard' and after listening to that CD over and over, I decided I wanted more of this incredible Jazz. So, I purchased 'Waltz for Debby.' I feel honored to own and enjoy such high-quality Jazz music. The Bill Evans Trio is phenomenal! It doesn't matter what type of music you like, this is a must-have for everybody who appreciates music as an art form. Put this on your bucket list. Seriously!
