About this product
Waltz for Debby was recorded June 25, 1961 live at the Village Vanguard jazz club. The place acoustics played a big role the small, triangular basement club naturally produced a warm, close-up sound. They were used portable Ampex tape machines with relatively few microphones - one near the piano, one for bass, one for drums, plus a room mic to capture the club's natural ambiance. This minimalist setup is part of why the recording still sounds intimate and natural. Bill Evans (that had a two-week engagement at the Village Vanguard with his trio) and producer Orrin Keepnews (Riverside Records co-founder) decided to capture a single Sunday of live performances in afternoon and evening sets. Result was high-quality material for two albums InchSunday at the Village VanguardInch released first, 1961 and InchWaltz for DebbyInch released the next year, 1962. The title track is a gentle, lyrical waltz Evans originally composed in 1956 as a musical portrait of his young niece, Debby. All compositions included feels Evans transforms them into deeply personal statements, with the the title track serving as the emotional centerpiece. A fantastic trio's telepathic communication, especially between Evans and bassist Scott LaFaro that tragically died in a car accident just 10 days after the recording at age 25. Widely regarded as one of the greatest piano trio albums of all time, InchWaltz for DebbyInch showcases Evans' approach to the trio , where bass and drums are not just accompaniment but equal partners in dialogue and these show how fluid and spontaneous was the trio himself.

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl repressing of this Jazz classic. Now cited as one of his best albums, Waltz for Debby was a live album from Bill Evans' trio and was the companion to the critically acclaimed Sunday at the Village Vanguard. Wax Time.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Though not the earliest entry in the genre (which Eno makes no claim to have invented), Ambient 1 (Music For Airports) was the first album ever to be explicitly labelled 'ambient music'. Eno had previously created similarly quiet, unobtrusive music on albums 'Evening Star', 'Discreet Music', and Harold Budd's 'The Pavilion of Dreams' (which he produced), but this was the first album to give it precedence as a cohesive concept. He gave his explanation of and aspirations for ambient music in this short 1978 essay. Eno conceived the idea for 'Music For Airports' while spending several hours waiting at Cologne Bonn Airport, becoming annoyed by the uninspired sound and the atmosphere it created. The recording was designed to be continuously looped as a sound installation, with the intent of defusing the tense, anxious atmosphere of an airport terminal, by avoiding the derivative and familiar elements of typical 'canned music'. The album features contributions from Robert Wyatt and Rhett Davies.
Dave Brubeck's essential masterpiece and one of the true best-sellers in jazz history, Time Out became such a huge success took the world by surprise, including the members of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, featuring Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright and Joe Morello. The formation took the challenge to experiment with musical forms foreign to jazz. While they experimented, one way or another, on many of their previous albums, none of them had such an ambitious concept as Time Out, which only presented tunes written in unusual time signatures. It was impossible to predict that such an unusual idea would lead to one of the bestselling jazz albums of all time.
