Two and a half years after the untimely death of Scott LaFaro, who left a lasting mark on the Bill Evans Trio with his innovative bass playing, the recordings took place with Gary Peacock succeeding him on bass. Still with them: Paul Motian on drums. And even in this new line-up, the trio succeeded in playing with sensitivity and depth that moves the listener. In the first recording of the three-part series for Verve Records, the focus was on the interpretation of standards such as "Little Lulu," "A Sleepin' Bee" or Irving Berlin's "Always." Since the recordings took place shortly before Christmas '63, the Christmas classic also crept in: "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town."
