Bill Evans - Village Vanguard Question

I'm confused about the 3 CD set of the famous Vanguard recordings of Bill Evans.

Supposedly the songs are presented in the order in which they were performed during the 6 sets the trio played. If that's the case why are there "take 1's" and take 2's", etc? Can someone explain?

I read Orrin Keepnews liner notes but still don't get it.

This is probably the best piano trio music I've ever heard.

The VV 1961 recordings are tops on my list of recordings too.

I believe that the takes refer to the order of presentation during the 5 VV sets.

"Gloria's Step" was played at the first set, but the second time it was played (third set) was issued on Sunday at the Village Vanguard.

Happy listening,

Jeff
