History: Scott LaFaro
In 2009, ‘Jade Visions: The Life and Music of Scott LeFaro,’ by his sister Helene LaFaro-Fernandez, was published. It told the tale of an amazingly talented bass player, born in Newark, that went on to become one of the 20th Century’s most influential jazz musicians. His landmark recordings with the groundbreaking Bill Evans Trio in 1959 to 1961 are still considered state-of-the-art.
