Victor Feldman w Scott LaFaro - The arrival of Victor Feldman -BeBop(1958)

[slyme1711]

Feldman is my new hero. Can't believe I just found out about him.

[peaveyBassAile]

Scott LaFaro...il padre di contrabbassisti, colui che al pari di jaco ha elevato lo strumento non rinchiudendolo nei confini del mero accompagnamento!!!!

[satziebaby]

[jjjjazzzz]

Stan Levy was a left handed drummer. He played for many years at Howard Rumsey's "Lighthouse" in Hermosa Beach in L.A. Victor Feldman was a teriffic piano player who really cooked on the vibes. And Scot LaFaro was untouchable when it came to bass. I saw this group appear live on a jazz television show and it was unreal to see and hear them play so fast and so accurate. It was such a loss to lose Scotty so young.

Tennis elbow for any drummer... But hear Scotty go. Ow man...

Just found this video a couple of minutes ago in search, and even though the full title of this selection can't be seen in the search box, I already knew BEFORE clicking on it which tune from the LP this was going to be, LOL!

Even faster than the Dizzy Gillespie/Sonny Stitt/Stan Getz version, which is also incredible! ;-)

[ajbalfour]

Interestingly enough, Levey was the drummer on that session too!

[CrandMackerel]

quarter note = 400

Just insane....

[mackyouaccount]

Wtf metronome marking is this!!?

[openbaffle3]

How quick they play! Is this the original speed? Isn't it digitally processed?

[ossopalatino]

Yes..is the original speed.

[madchops82]

wow...that was really good. Those guys could play fast back then. Levey was a left hander but played drums right...he was very good at those tempos. An unsung hero of the drums. Up there with Max Roach and Roy Haynes if you ask me.

[SampsonFTL]

Scott Lafaro has inspired me to play, make a bunch of awesome recordings, revolutionize the way my instrument is played, and then die in a car accident at a young age probably under the influence! But really, he had to die, god hates competition.

[1rushboy]

well spoken, just like joco and jimmi

[Alino17]

One of the silliest cover ever for an awesome trio

[TubeworksVideo]

The picture was captured by Stan Levey's wife Angela.

[claudthornhill]

Please!

Its beyond belief that there has only been two other comment on this incredible gem. I'm surprised I missed this recording in my early jazz days.. Victor yes. but realy, Scotty is like from another planet. Thank you, Ossopalatino

[vibeman27]

Yeeeaaah!!

[dixjazz]

Difficult to imagine that this was in the mid fiftees. Three tremendous musicians. The whole album is inspiring. To take a bass solo on BEBOP was enough to frighten anyone. Thanks for posting...Brilliant!!

[japa1990]

yea there isnt much u can do as a bassist when takin a solo this fast. Other than the walkin solo which is what scotty did here.

[bassface84]

yeah... unless you're willing to risk serious injury...
