When I returned Scott LaFaro's 1825 Abraham Prescott to Barrie Kolstein, I made sure to bring a video camera and get him talking a little. Here, he tells the story of "The LaFaro Bass', as it's now known.

Barrie's father, Sam Kolstein, restored Scott's bass for him back around 1959. Barrie restored the bass after Scott's tragic accident. Both men are amazing luthiers, and they did unbelievable work to this jazz relic!

If you are interested in hearing what this instrument sounds like now, you can pick up a copy of the CD I used it on directly from my website:

  • Fantastic work! Great job done. Probably his soul may be there. A soul is for sure inside :D

  • Very cool... and now documented for history.

  • What a great story! This wonderful instrument with so many bittersweet memories being played again (briefly) by a musician who understands and appreciates it. Bravo!

  • Thank a lot Phil
