Recorded at the Village Vanguard club in New York on June 25, 1961, this album comes from the sessions which also produced the album Waltz for Debby (published chronologically after this album) The titles selected for Sunday at The Village Vanguard are those which most highlight double bassist Scott LaFaro who was killed in a car accident on July 6, 1961 just a few days after the recording of these tracks. After LaFaro's death, Evans, deeply affected, did not record any trio records for more than a year(he did, however, record as a sideman or, under his own name, in a duo with guitarist Jim Hall). This release is part of the New Ermitage collection available from January 2024: 18 jazz andsoul titles reissued on yellow vinyl with new codes and renewed graphics.
