From the Village Vanguard in Manhattan. You still walk by there today and it's a rough looking, unassuming sign and entrance, you'd never know such rich history came from that very spot. Every time I hear this or any of Evans music from the Vanguard, I think of nights in NYC.
From time to time, whenever I feel the need to reach for humanity in my inner self, I listen to this album, and let myself be overwhelmed by warmth, sadness and that lump on the back of my throat, all followed by goosebumps and sheer joy for being able to witness such a marvellous display of brilliance and talent from the best jazz trio ever to exist...
Whenever it starts raining, I always have the urge to play this song alone and just close my eyes... I keep reflecting about my past and realize how much I've been treated poorly by others and my choices, it amazes how fast people can change and then forget, I didn't understand what was going on as a child, but after I graduated from high school I looked back and I just felt very cold... Once the song reached at 4:15, I open my eyes and just start tearing up a little, I told myself that everything is going to be ok, I just need to move on...
My apologies for the long monologue, I hope you all enjoy the piece and just relax...
I once fell in love of a beautiful woman from South America, she was very different from any other woman I've met before and the first and only woman I've ever love. I knew she was trouble but I fell for her.. I guess I couldn't do anything about it, I was doomed from the very first moment I saw her. We spent together a whole year, trying to live each day to the fullest and at the end she went back home and now she is the wife of another man.. it didn't end well for me but I've learned to live my life without her. One of the hardest things to do in life is to let go and that's what I've done. Hopefully one day I can meet the right woman for me. Only time and destiny will tell.
