Bill Evans / Riverside Recordings (22LP黑膠唱片)

這套比爾伊文斯45轉經典大全集，由美國唱片大廠AP出品，音質空前絕後，重現50幾年前爵士經典現場錄音，11張專輯中的最經典之一。

給黛比的華爾滋》是比爾早期的錄音，陣容包括貝斯手史考特．拉法羅（Scott LaFaro）和鼓手保羅．摩遜（Paul Motian），共同組成的鋼琴三重奏。這個三重奏留下的幾張錄音裡，給《黛比的華爾滋》是最著名的一張。這張專輯錄製於一九六一年六月二十五日，是在前衛村酒吧的現場演出，演奏悅耳動聽，三位高手演奏出色，多首情歌都達醉人的境界。這張專輯中的現場版本，結構已達完美，日後許多版本都不及這個版本的完美。在優美的音樂背後，不時傳來杯酒碰撞及客人談笑的聲音及掌聲，比爾．伊文斯咬著煙屁股，低頭彈奏，為眾人送上酒後愉悅而沒有苦惱的情詩，這實在是絕美的享受。

在這場演出的十天後，貝斯手史考特在一次車禍中喪生，除了樂壇失去一個重要的貝斯手，對團長比爾．伊文斯來說，更是痛失右手，不只終結這個優異的三重奏，也使比爾暫停所有的演出一年。《給黛比的華爾滋》這張專輯，是貝斯手史考特的最後錄音，它不只成為貝斯手史考特．拉法羅告別代表作，更是20世紀百年來鋼琴三重奏中，最值得收藏的重要專輯之一。
