Review by Thom Jurek
Recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1961, shortly before Scott LaFaro's death, Waltz for Debby is the second album issued from that historic session, and the final one from that legendary trio that also contained drummer Paul Motian. While the Sunday at the Village Vanguard album focused on material where LaFaro soloed prominently, this is far more a portrait of the trio on those dates. Evans chose the material here, and, possibly, in some unconscious way, revealed on these sessions — and the two following LaFaro's death (Moonbeams and How My Heart Sings) — a different side of his musical personality that had never been displayed on his earlier solo recordings or during his tenures with Miles Davis and George Russell: Evans was an intensely romantic player, flagrantly emotional, and that is revealed here in spades on tunes such as "My Foolish Heart" and "Detour Ahead." There is a kind of impressionistic construction to his harmonic architecture that plays off the middle registers and goes deeper into its sonances in order to set into motion numerous melodic fragments simultaneously. The rhythmic intensity that he displayed as a sideman is evident here in "Milestones," with its muscular shifting time signature and those large, flatted ninths with the right hand. The trio's most impressive interplay is in "My Romance," after Evans' opening moments introducing the changes. Here Motian's brushwork is delicate, flighty and elegant, and LaFaro controls the dynamic of the tune with his light as a feather pizzicato work and makes Evans' deeply emotional statements swing effortlessly. Of the many recordings Evans issued, the two Vanguard dates and Explorations are the ultimate expressions of his legendary trio.

Grading:
All records are graded visually unless otherwise noted. I try to grade conservatively, using Goldmine guidelines, in order to give the buyer the benefit of any doubt. I try to list all significant defects. To aid in the description, I take photos of all items at the time of listing. Please email me with any questions.
A further note about my grading: I rarely grade a previously owned record NM. I do not use this grade unless the record is virtually flawless. After NM, my highest grade is E, followed by VG+. I do not use NM-, E-, VG++, or VG+++ or other so-called in-between grades. VG+ should be very acceptable to most collectors. I will only list a VG record if it is extremely rare and hard-to-find.
