I presume the radio shows are in chronological order. Then dating is as indicated. This is confirmed by the discography.
NOTE: This seems to correspond to the following performances at the Bill Evans Memorial Library (http://home.btconnect.com/beml/index.html)

***************************
The legendary edition of the Bill Evans Trio featured impeccable drummer Paul Motian and ill-starred bassist Scott LaFaro; they made a handful of recordings for Riverside, but their only released live sessions came from their final engagement at the Village Vanguard in June, 1961.
The release of these airchecks from four separate broadcasts is a welcome addition to their discography. There are three excellent takes of "Autumn Leaves," with the first kicked off by a long Scott LaFaro solo. Evans offers a stunning seven-minute "Nardis," which is possibly his earliest live recording of the piece that he would perform and record many more times. LaFaro delivers a compelling solo that only hints at the potential that was extinguished with his death in an auto crash following the famous 1961 Village Vanguard sessions.
Even with the noise typically found in releases made from vintage radio broadcasts, this is a historic CD worth the extra effort to locate.(Ken Dryden)
