The record

From the same 1961 Vanguard sessions as Sunday at the Village Vanguard, cut just ten days before LaFaro's death. The title tune became a standard on its own, but it's the unhurried give and take between bass and piano that made the date matter.

Session personnel

  • Scott LaFaro — bass
  • Paul Motian — drums
  • Bill Evans — piano
