The Larry McDonough Trio show packed the Lexington in the fall. If you missed this show then, do not miss it now. If you came, come again. The Trio will record the show for a possible CD. This will be the last performance of this show for a while. Come for the show and be on the recording! ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ “Sunday at the Village Vanguard” and “Waltz for Debby” were the last recordings of this trio, as LaFaro died in a car accident just ten days after the live date at the Village Vanguard. The trio revolutionized jazz, with each member improvising at the same time while performing recognizable pieces. The Larry McDonough Trio also will perform music from the CD "Kind of Bill on the Palace Grounds - Marking 40 Years since the Death of Bill Evans," a live recording covering the career of Bill Evans. Jazz curator Steve Kenny has called pianist Larry McDonough the Bill Evans scholar of Minnesota. "The quartet does more than replay the songbook. They relive it, reinterpret it for a new generation of jazz listeners, making then into now." - Eric Hanson, Author, Artist, and Jazz Historian. ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ ♪ ♬ Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby Writing for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek wrote of Sunday at the Village Vanguard: “This trio is still widely regarded as his finest, largely because of the symbiotic interplay between its members. This is a great place to begin with Evans.” C. Michael Bailey of All About Jazz wrote "Along with Bassist wunderkind Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, Evans perfected his democratic vision of trio cooperation, where all members performed with perfect empathy and telepathy... It is these performances, currently available as Sunday at The Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby that comprise the number one best jazz live recording in this present series." Sunday at The Village Vanguard was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Waltz for Debby was voted number 465 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).
