Evans' main bassists were Teddy Kotick (before 59), Scott Lafaro, died on july 6, 1961 at his 25 in car accident just 11 days after Village Vanguard, Chuck Israëls , NHOP, Gary Peacock, Eddie Gomez for the longest period and the most innovator, and Marc Johnson. There are much well made videos-documentaries on youtube 'bout Bill Evans.
By the way, was Scott Lafaro who died in a car accident (the bass player)... Joe La Barbera is still alive and drumming. Johnson took the Lafaro's place.
@Polleggioso No, there were several bassists between Lafaro and Johnson -- at least Chuck Israels and Eddie Gomez that I'm aware of. Lafaro died in something like 1961, a long time ago.
@Polleggioso There were several bassists between LaFaro and Johnson. Johnson only played with the Trio for about 2 years or so until Evans died. After LaFaro's accident in 1961, the bass chair featured Chuck Israels, Gary Peacock, and Eddie Gomez. Gomez was on the bulk of Evans' material.
@Polleggioso Well yeah but that was a long time before this video. After LaFaro died, Bill had a number of bassists before Marc Johnson, who was his last bassist before his death.

I love the sound of the double bass. The combination all acustic instruments in soft jazz, is unique

Absolutely a remarkably performance ,great bass playing and to think his time was very nearly up all due to his addiction.
