Scott LaFaro: Pieces of Jade
by Stuart Broomer
In his brief career between 1959 and 1961, Scott LaFaro may have done as much to revolutionize the way the bass is played in jazz as Jimmy Blanton, another gifted and tragic figure, had with Duke Ellington 20 years before him.

By Shaun Randol Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 2010 Winter Jazzfest (now in its sixth year) began promptly (Le) Poisson Rouge with Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, an 18-member ensemble (by my count) directed by the eponymous leader. Argue's direction was precise, if not robotic, but the band sounded confident and emphatic. Argue ...
