Gorgeous romanticism, seamless chemistry, group
interplay, and symbiotic trio performances forever changed jazz: Evans'
live masterwork boasts brilliant sound, lyrical pianism, magical feel.
The gorgeous romanticism of Bill Evans' Sunday at the Village Vanguard
cannot be overstated. Neither can the iconic record's place in history -
nor what it signifies to generations upon generations of listeners
hypnotized by the consummate playing, resplendent compositions, and
seamless chemistry. Originally released in 1961, the live set remains
the gold standard for symbiotic trio performance, empathy, and
communication. Because of the brilliant recording, it also survives as
one of the best-sounding jazz albums extant - a fact confirmed by it's
appearance on multiple reissues over the past few decades. But it's
never sounded better than this. Evans' masterwork reaches
three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained by
analog recordings on this opulent Mobile Fidelity UD1S box set complete
with special jackets and a unique insert. This ultra-hi-fi audiophile
edition literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music of
this Riverside staple that, along with the complementary "Waltz for
Debby", transformed Evans into a legend and became a blueprint for how
jazz trios should work together. You'll enjoy deep-black backgrounds,
pointillist details, and staggering dynamics.
Experienced via UD1S,
Sunday at the Village Vanguard places Evans and his esteemed colleagues
in your listening room. Every note, breath, and movement captured by the
microphones are reproduced with exquisite accuracy and wowing clarity.
The deluxe packaging and gorgeous presentation of this Sunday at the
Village Vanguard pressing befit it's extremely select status. Housed in
an opulent box, this UD1S edition contains special jackets and a unique
insert that further illuminate the splendor of the recording.
Aurally and visually, this Sunday at the Village Vanguard is a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the music - and everything involved with the album, from the graphics to the textures. Recorded just ten days before bassist Scott LaFaro perished in a car accident, Sunday at the Village Vanguard changed the way jazz trios were perceived by audiences and musicians alike. Up until Evans, LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian proved otherwise, a trio configuration meant two sidemen served as rhythmic support to spotlight the virtuosity of a headline performer or primary soloist. Here, the three instrumentalists operate in complete unison and achieve supreme democratic balance. Expressing their intent via shared conversations, they alight on sublime pieces flush with thematic discovery, improvisational dialog, and raw feeling.
