Early Deaths of Jazz Musicians Part II
Scott La Faro died in a car crash on July 6, 1961 when he was 25 years old. The handful of albums that he made with Bill Evans and Paul Motian in the year or so before his death comprise a body of work almost unparalleled in beauty and influence in jazz history. There seems to be no live footage of this trio extant.
- From the album "Waltz for Debby", recorded June 25, 1961 with Evans and Motian.
Le Faro is at left, sitting next to Evans and Motian, sometime around their immortal live recording "Sunday at the Village Vanguard".
