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. Like Blanton, LaFaro only took up the bass when he entered college and also died ...

Charnett Moffett: Improvisational Artistry
by R.J. DeLuke
"I enjoy all of the music, just as I enjoy different aspects of color in paintings, or different people, or different types of food, or things of that nature. For me, it seems to be a more interesting way of life to have an appreciation for all that is offered on the planet."
Scott LaFaro: Pieces of Jade
by AAJ Italy Staff
Interessante l'intervista a Bill Evans inserita in questo CD: poco più di tredici minuti in cui il pianista affronta, con George Klabin, la scomparsa di Scott LaFaro, avvenuta cinque anni prima. Altrettanto interessante, spesso affascinante la registrazione (assai di fortuna, purtroppo) di una prova di Bill Evans e Scott LaFaro su “My Foolish Heart". Eccellente, invece, ...
Mark Kramer: Jazz Greetings
by Victor L. Schermer
It's easy to be jaded by the endless production of Christmas and New Year holiday recordings by jazz artists attempting to cash in on the shopping impulses of this time of year. It's also unfortunate that much of what is produced is simply spruced-up, dispensable noise. Pianist Mark Kramer's “Jazz Greetings" is a rare ...

Listen to the Bass Player: Part 6, Scott Lafaro
The Rifftides series of posts on improving hearing by listening to bass lines leads inevitably to Scott LaFaro. It was less LaFaro's virtuosity that made a difference in the role of the bass than the uncanny group thinking and interaction he made possible in the Bill Evans Trio. LaFaro was what Evans had been looking for, ...
