One of my favourite Jazz music. Wonderfully delicate and relaxing, mixed with a little applause from the bar patrons. After this live recording, the double bass player died in a car accident 10 days later.
Perfect in a quiet night, with a good book, a glass of good wine, and a comfortable armchair.
If you don't have a quiet night, this recording would make it quiet for you.
Bill Evans' 1965 trio: Bill Evans(Piano), Chuck Israels (bass) and Larry Bunker (drums).--Thanks Lorenzo's comment for this information!
The music in this video has similar melody to the CD recording, but the feeling and rhythm are quite different. Not very relaxing actually.
As if something was gone....with the death of the bass player perhaps.
Personally, I prefer the 1961 recording!

Dear Cakecat... just for your information, the trio that plays in the video isn't the same that recorded the album.
The video shows Evans' 1965 trio, which took in Chuck Israels (bass) and Larry Bunker (drums).
Waltz for Debby was recorded live at Village Vanguard in June 1961, and actually the bass player (who incidentally was... a certain Scott LaFaro) died 10 days after that gig.
The drummer was Paul Motian.
Best!!!!

Thank you a lot for the information.
I felt it, after watching the video. The music thoughts in the video is totally different from the CD recording.
They were similar melodies, but I would say as if something in Bill Evans Trio's performance was gone. I can't feel the same relaxing rhythm anymore.
Thank you very much! May I add the info before the video?
I don't understand when I read relax what they mean cause i don't relax listening to this, it excites my senses
