This thread is 7 years old and I just read through it top to bottom. I think that shows I'm really enjoying the hobby--reading old stuff, looking for subjects of interest.
Great topic guys. I have to vote Waltz for Debby. Wolfe's point about the sonics and background noise in the restaurant/cafe are charming and add mood. It's hard for me to believe this was a live recording out a a small, yet now famous, venue.
Portrait is pretty well recorded--if not more perfectly than Waltz for Debby, even though WFD has a special glow to the instruments.
I have so much more Bill Evans to discovery. I'm just so glad people appreciate this guy's genius so much.
