These recordings represent the high intro-active and inventive work of the illustrious Trio during this pinnacle of Evans' almost continual engagements at the Village Vanguard in the summer of 1961. These were recorded from original acetate dies from Bill Ohashi's private collection.
Due to misinformation at the time of mastering, the revised song order is:
1. Waltz for Debby -1 2. Waltz for Debby -2 3. My Romance -1 4. My Romance -2 5. Alice in Wonderland 6. How My Heart Sings

"...The sextet that the trombonist [Bill Ohashi] assembled features several strong soloists and they really light into the music. Lee Morgan's,"What Know", opens the program and 'fours' everyone a chance to blow. Ohashi has a sound and very melodic. Richard Vitale's trumpet work crackles while David Schnitter's tenor sound has a nice heft to it. The front line trades "fours" with the drummer (Drory Mondlak) and gets into the spirit of the piece. Joe Henderson's,"Our Thing", is pushed into high gear by the drumming of Mike Clark. The title tune shows the group in a more harmonic mode...", Richard B. Kamins, Cadence Magazine
John Coltrane's developing, exciting, innovative quartet on special tour in the Fall of 1961 visited Austria, Demark and then Italy.
These rare and unusual quartet live recordings were made without Eric Dolphy added and preserves and embellishes the quartets searching and classic purity.
'Every Time We Say Goodbye', 'The Inch Worm' and two versions of 'Chasing the Train' make this a collectors must have.
