Produced by Orrin Keepnews, and captured magically by recording engineer Dave Jones -with three mics, mixed in an Ampex MX-35 tube mic/line mixer-preamp onto an Ampex 350-2 or 351-2 two-track running Scotch 111 at 15 ips -alongside subtle tinkling glass intrusions, minimal chatter interventions, and 'polite' applause this was Evans' fifth release for Riverside -his first appropriately titled New Jazz Conceptions -and remaining a best seller ever since. For these reasons alone, both albums should share similar shelf space in one's LP collection. ' Village' along with its counterpart Waltz for Debbie-drawn from the same sessions -have long been considered quintessential live trio recordings both for masterful musicianship, and deep audiophile admiration for their natural timbres, and airy ambiance. Playing a total of 13 songs in the smoky, triangular-shaped basement, this was the last day of a two-week gig, and sadly ten days before Scott LaFaro's tragic car accident. Recorded live at the Vanguard in Greenwich Village, NYC, on a famous Sunday afternoon and night of J-the legendary venue situated on Seventh Avenue South, served host for a historic moment in time.
