Stone classic BE, recorded live at The Village Vanguard in New York on June 25, 1961. With Scott LaFaro — ten days before his death in a car accident — and Paul Motian.

Giddily lovely ballads from 1962, with Chuck Israels taking over from Scott LaFaro.
That’s Nico on the cover.

A newly-discovered recording of a live performance by the Trio, with Eddie Gómez playing bass and Eliot Zigmund drums, on June 20, 1975, at Oil Can Harry’s, Vancouver, Canada.

His trio with Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker, performing live at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in early March, in the selection broadcast by WBGO-FM and PBS-TV later that month. Properly restored and remastered.

His two Riverside masterpieces Sunday At The Village Vanguard and Waltz For Debby.
The music sounds better than ever after Ezzthetics’ restoration-work, which removes the accustomed breaks between tracks, so that the concerts unfold continuously and vividly, laced with crowd chatter and clinking glass, and all. You feel like you’re there in the Village Vanguard, in 1961, enraptured. Evans is exquisitely soulful throughout, and the improvisatory trio interplay is famously stunning: check My Man’s Gone Now, featuring Scott LaFaro.
It’s a scorcher. Unmissable.

‘Classic Vinyl series.’

‘Channelling the great chordless trios of Sonny Rollins. An authoritative, belting New Cross blues, a feline Mel’s Mood and a stately, serene When You Know; all with a spontaneous immediacy that allows Ireland’s assured compositions to take unexpected directions. The closer Lips boils over in the outro, with the faders left up to capture the vibe.’

CD from Waxtime.

‘Following his ECM debut of duos with Markus Stockhausen, the pianist leads a strong cast through a programme of his compositions and sketches. Whether paying tribute to his mentor Lee Konitz on Honestlee, impressionistically conveying the glittering Melody Of A Waterfall, or generating impactful drama out of fragments of sound on Butterfly Effect, Weber continually draws fresh responses from his players.
‘The strong, grounded bass of Linda May Han Oh contrasts strikingly with Nasheet Waits’s fleet, fluid drumming, setting up new contexts for Ralph Alessi’s elegantly inventive trumpet and the leader’s highly creative piano playing.’

Mark Turner, tenor and soprano saxophones; Larry Grenadier, double-bass; Jeff Ballard, drums.
