I always used to tell Scotty what a genius he was. And he was! The guy played so beautifully. He was one of the only musicians I ever knew who could combine creativeness and technical ability in a perfect way.' Charlie Haden on Scott LaFaro \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott LaFaro burst onto the scene in 1957-58 with breathtaking performances on the albums \u003ci\u003eThis is Pat Moran\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Arrival of Victor Feldman\u003c\/i\u003e. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile still in his early twenties, LaFaro developed bass playing to a new level of facility. He had a gorgeous tone and unflagging melodicism; a lyrical sensibility that reached full expression with the extraordinary recordings of the Evans Trio made in late June of 1961 at the Village Vanguard, just days before the tragic automobile accident that took his life and robbed the jazz world of the most influential bassist of modern times. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott set himself exacting standards and was rarely satisfied. While technically advanced, his development was grounded in feeling. His playing was cultured and exciting and it could break your heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology showcases some of the considerable recorded highlights of Scott LaFaro's short career including \u003ci\u003eThe Arrival of Victor Feldman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFree Jazz: A Collective Improvisation by the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet\u003c\/i\u003e in their entirety and a quantity of selections from the Bill Evans Trio albums \u003ci\u003eSunday at the Village Vanguard\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Waltz for Debby\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE PAT MORAN TRIO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Making Whoopee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 In Your Own Sweet Way \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Onilisor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Yesterdays \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVICTOR FELDMAN TRIO The Arrival of Victor Feldman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Serpent's Tooth \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Waltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Chasing Shadows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Flamingo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 S'posin'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 BeBop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 (There Is) No Greater Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Too Blue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 Minor Lament\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Satin Doll \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCAL TJADER - STAN GETZ SEXTET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 Crow's Nest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 Liz-Anne \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHAMPTON HAWES QUARTET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e17 Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC TWO\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBUDDY DEFRANCO AND HIS SEPTETTE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Ballad Medley: I'm Glad There Is You \/ There's No You \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARTY PAICH ORCHESTRA \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 It's All Right With Me \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHERB GELLER AND HIS ALL STARS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Cow Song \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTONY SCOTT QUARTET \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Misery (To Lady Day) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBILL EVANS TRIO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Someday My Prince will Come\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Autumn Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Blue In Green \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBOOKER LITTLE QUARTET \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Bee Tee's Minor Plea \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHN LEWIS ORCHESTRA \u0026amp; THE CONTEMPORARY STRING QUARTET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Variants On A Theme of John Lewis (Django) Variant 1 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eORNETTE COLEMAN DOUBLE QUARTET\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC THREE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eORNETTE COLEMAN \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 W.R.U \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBILL EVANS TRIO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Haunted Heart \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Nardis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTAN GETZ QUARTET \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Airegin \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBILL EVANS TRIO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Gloria's Step (#2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 My Man's Gone (#2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Alice In Wonderland (#2) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Jade Visions (#2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 My Foolish Heart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Waltz for Debby (#2) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Detour Ahead (#2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Some Other Time \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El records","offers":[{"title":"CDx3","offer_id":50426997506379,"sku":"2206980","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/front_cover.jpg_85d519fb_thumbnail_4096.webp?v=1726820214","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-alchemy-of-scott-lafaro-young-meteor-of-the-bass","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
