Turn Out the Stars: The Final Village Vanguard Recordings is a six-CD box set live albumbyjazz pianist Bill Evans with Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera recorded over four nights at the Village VanguardinNew York City in 1980 and released on CD on the Warner Bros. label in 1996. A concurrent LP release was made on Mosaic.[1]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated: "Evans sounded quite energized during his last year, Johnson was developing quickly as both an accompanist and a soloist, and the interplay by the trio members (with subtle support from LaBarbera) sometimes bordered on the telepathic. The playing throughout these consistently inventive performances ranks up there with the Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian trio of 20 years earlier".[2]
