They expanded the roles of the bass and drums—which had previously been viewed strictly as accompaniment to the piano—and established a new style characterized by an equilateral triangle of sound created through their exceptional interplay. However, when LaFaro died suddenly in a car accident in July 1961 at the young age of 25, the original Evans Trio came to an end after only two years of activity. This album features archival recordings from their performances at Birdland, a prestigious New York jazz club, between March and May 1960.\n\nIn this album, they perform such classics as “Autumn Leaves,” originally included on *Portrait in Jazz*, and “Blue in Green,” featured on Miles Davis’s seminal 1959 album *Kind of Blue*, on which Evans also played.\n\nThis album features the trio—known for producing jazz history-defining works such as *Sunday at the Village Vanguard* and *Waltz for Debby*—performing the standards and jazz numbers that Evans loved to play.\n\nImport edition with Japanese packaging \u003cfeaturing a japanese obi strip and bilingual english liner notes\u003e\n\nBill Evans (p)\nScott LaFaro (b)\nPaul Motian (ds)\u003c\/featuring\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hi Hat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52745767387425,"sku":"4997184220569","price":2421.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4997184220569.jpg?v=1779306520","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4997184220569","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
