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

Victor Feldman (vibraphone)
Scott LaFaro (bass)
Stan Levey (drums)

Although he performed for only six years (1955-1961), LaFaro's innovative approach to the bass redefined jazz playing bringing an "emancipation" introducing "so many diverse possibilities as would have been thought impossible for the bass only a short time before" , and inspired a generation of bassists who followed him.

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

[ossopalatino]

Yes..is the original speed.

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.

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

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.
