Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Bill Evans Trio 🎢 There’s good reason why this is considered one of the greatest live jazz recordings. This pressing puts me right there in the room, 1961. #jazzsky #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

Final sunset of 2025 over Alresford Creek, Essex. The tide is low and shoreline birds are feeding on the exposed mud, blissfully unaware of the Gregorian calendar.
