Scott LaFaro : Deep in a Dream- Live in 1958
Had a chap over for a listen and he didn't know much about modern bass players or playing. I introduced him to LaFaro on Bill Evan's Live at The Village Vanguard and later-to-come Eddie Gomez on Chick Corea's Three Quartets album. What LaFaro did for new possibilities for his instrument may be unprecedented. Like Gomez, Richard Davis and Cecil McBee are two other bassists whose playing is huge. Corea's under appreciated Three Quartets album will nail you to the back of your chair.
