@jazz4asahel Scott LaFaro died at 25 in upstate New York my man. I think he played the bass for only 7 years. He started right after graduating high school. Can you imagine the possibilities for jazz if Scott hadn't died. He's the Clifford Brown of jazz bass. Crazy
Scott Lafaro's tragic automobile death in New Jersey at age 21 must always be factored into what Bill's music paused and resumed. Everything I've read indicates that Bill was devastated by Scott's demise. Eddie Gomez was a good bring-Bill-out-of-silence-haitus replacement. I think it went that way. Gomez is awesome, of course; and I believe Evans understood that same in perhaps a reserved, quite hopeful way. Of course, we the listeners are the privilidged ones. Good listening to you!

What a tremendous performance by the best trio ever! I love this video. Marty had a bit of a Ron Jeremy look going on, didn't he?

All are invited to a BEAUTIFUL Bill Evans master class on his life and music. Type in "Dave Frank" Evans on Youtube. Bill lives!
