Information

Cover Notes: Scott LaFaro burst onto the scene in 1957-58 with breathtaking performances on the albums 'This is Pat Moran' and 'The Arrival of Victor Feldman'. He played with Monk and Dolphy and a host of others and studied the music of Sonny Rollins and Anton Webern along the way. He participated in the 'sonic revolution' of Ornette Coleman's 'Free Jazz' Double Quartet and was an equal voice in one of the most wonderfully integrated units in the history of jazz, the first Bill Evans Trio. This anthology showcases some of the considerable recorded highlights of Scott LaFaro's short career including 'The Arrival of Victor Feldman' and 'Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation by the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet' in their entirety and a quantity of selections from the Bill Evans Trio albums 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard' and 'Waltz for Debby'.
