Sunday at the Village Vanguard

Jazz Album mit etwas Power und im einzelnen guten Vocals. Das Bassspiel in „My Men‘s Gone Now“ sowie „Alice in Wonderland (Take 1)“ sind für Jazz-Verhältnisse ausdrucksstark. Insegesamt gelingt es aber auch dieser Platte nicht, mich für das Genre zu begeistern.

carai, que BAIXARIA (rá) esse aqui.
o cara largano o dedo no contrabaixão memo, foda-se. bonito demais.

bonita homenagem pro contrabaixista, btw. só pedrada.

I really liked the album. A pretty cool sound. Bill Evans and his colleagues are probably brilliant on their instruments. But even though I like jazz and enjoyed this album, I probably won't be listening to it again any time soon. 3/5

Fantastic record. I had never listened to this one all the way through, but I'm so happy this was on this list. Just a really great jazz trio. I know Bill Evans is supposed to be the focal point here but Scott LaFaro on bass is just tearing it up throughout the entire album. Fantastic playing, and super sad that he died just a few days after this was recorded. Kind of Blue is probably the best jazz record of all time but this has to be right up there in the top 5. I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for this at the record shop. 5/5

Can’t go wrong with some Jazz really can you

Probably the single most important jazz piano recording from the pre-eminent creator of modern jazz piano. Incalculably vital.

Ahh, this one is relaxing. Smooth jazz for a rough day. I barely even noticed it's live, which is a compliment. Unfortunately, it mainly all just reads as "Linus and Lucy" to me. I am not a discerning jazz listener.

Highlights: 'Solar', 'Gloria's Step Take 3' (Where is take 1? Also, these songs with the same name I would never match up in a million years, which either says something about jazz or something about me)

Really solid smooth jazz. And a live album at that. You can almost smell the cigar smoke and whiskey from the seedy jazz bar this album could have been taped at. And it is a brassless jazz album, which I love. Sometimes trumpets and saxes get fucking annoying (like in every fucking Miles Davis album). Sometimes ya just want to sit back and enjoy the beautiful sounds attainable by a bass, piano, and drums. So relaxing. Dudes bassist is a fuckin machine!!

Favourite songs: All Of You, Gloria's Step

Least favourite songs: My Man's Gone Now

5/5

Not my favorite style of jazz. It's nice in a club atmosphere, but a little too smooth for my usually listening tastes. Still inarguably a great and talented performance by all.

Undeniably great. Some of the most astonishing bass playing I’ve ever heard. But a little Bill Evan’s goes a long way.

Liked the authenticity and the rawness of the live set. The clinking of the glasses and chatter made this sound more like background music than the main event.

Not terrible, but surprised it’s on this list.

This is some serious "cool jazz". It's goodish but very safe and predictable, which isn't necessarily my jam. Easy music for the background when guests are over for a winter cocktail party. 3/5

A bass forward jazz record. Alice In wonderland is a really nice track. Jade Visions is also a really nice track. I don't think this is my favorite Bill Evans record, but it is still very good.

I'll admit to being seduced by the aura dripping from this record. It's a warm summer evening in 1961 in a cozy little spot in the West Village. If you gave me a time machine, I wouldn't hesitate.

Anyway, I think the best way to listen to this album is not the band as a whole, not as one cohesive sound, but instead keeping the three instruments separate in your mind. Each one painting in a different color. Close your eyes and it's a very visual album.

Soft jazz like you'd hear in a fancy restaurant, however it doesn't really go anywhere and I found myself being bored of it pretty quickly.

I found a lot of this to be real nice. My kind of jazz. Super chilled and laid back, down-tempo, lo-fi. A bit moody, with some real atmosphere to it. Nice elegant keys and gentle backing bass.

I'm not as much of a fan when it introduces more of a chaotic element in some songs, maybe more 'traditional jazz'? Drums in weird time signatures and the like.

Overall, it was an enjoyable relaxing time while working.

3.5 rounded down.

Music is great, and I get that it's live, but the talking in the background is unacceptable and not charming at all.

Cool jazz piano. Very slick musicianship. The version I heard had a bunch of live takes that were studio quality. This guy is the real deal. I didn’t get much jazz as a kid but I gave this record a second spin.

Seemed okay - almost classic jazz (is that a thing?) Easy to appreciate the quality of the music but just not really my thing.

The epitome of ‘you had to be there’
