  • Great and intense. Thank you for uploading.

    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 Sorry, I don't know about Scott.

  • Napoleon Dynamite on bass

  • We'll never miss him enough!

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • genius

  • he is not bill evans, bill evans is not sideboards

  • @abby4410 thanks for putting those comments, what brilliant trios he had.

  • LOVE IT

  • 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.

  • @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.
