My best friend, who plays bass, draws heavily on LaFaro as an influence and he really got me hooked on his stuff. I don't even think he was on maybe 4 CD's tops. I know he was on two Hampton Hawes CD's, Birdsong (1959) and For Real! (1958).

You're exactly right about LaFaro. He was just one of a number of great jazz musicians who died way too soon just like

Grant Green
Lee Morgan
Tina Brooks
Clifford Brown
Jaco Pastorius

and the greatest of them all, John Coltrane.

I totally agree on Mirrorball. She really picked an excellent selection of songs for the album, and even more great songs on the DVD.

LaFaro was also on Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz and The Art of the Improvisers (he even has a song named after him on this one - "The Alchemy of Scott LaFaro").

Useless trivia of the day - Scott LaFaro was roommates with legendary jazz bassist Charlie Haden.

I don't usually like live albums as the sound tends to be weak. However, I do like the following:

Mingus at Antibes
Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterrey Pop
