"Sunday at the Village Vanguard" is a 1961 (see 1961 in music) album by jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans. It was recorded live on June 25, 1961 at the Village Vanguard in New York City over five recorded sessions (2 matinee and 3 soiree). It is well remembered as the final performance by the Evans trio of the time, which included bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. LaFaro was killed in a car accident ten days after the recording.

Evans and producer Orrin Keepnews reportedly selected the tracks for "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" to best reflect Scott LaFaro's masterful performance on bass, including two tracks (Gloria's Step and Jade Visions) written by LaFaro himself. This album is routinely ranked as one of the best live jazz recordings of all time. [ [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18619 All About Jazz: Best Live Jazz Recordings (1953-65)] ]

Additional material from the same session was released in a second album "Waltz for Debby" (also 1961), as was other material in another LP "Bill Evans - More From the Vanguard".

Re-issue

In 2006, Riverside issued a three-CD box set containing virtually all the material recorded at the Village Vanguard (one number has been lost). While all of this music was available on the Riverside Bill Evans box set, this re-issue has had the audience ambiance enhanced and includes introductions, on-stage discussions between the musicians, interaction with the audience, and a few bars of music that Evans improvised to fill out the tape at the end of the night.
