Bill Evans on Scott LaFaro

 

Enjoy a fascinating interview with Bill Evans about Scott LaFaro. LaFaro was the perfect bassist to accompany Bill Evans, no offense directed to Eddie Gomez.  Scott was melodic, intuitive, independent-minded, and perhaps my favorite jazz bassist in a trio context. As Evans says in this interview, it's difficult to explain LaFaro's playing, but one must experience the "ride."
