Description
"Jade Visions" is the first biography of one of the twentieth century's most influential jazz musicians, bassist Scott LaFaro. Best known for his landmark recordings with Bill Evans, LaFaro played bass a mere seven years before his life and career were tragically cut short by an automobile accident when he was only 25 years old. LaFaro's sister and well-known jazz experts, including Gene Lees, tell the musician's story.
Reviews / Votes
"Fernandez' insightful comments about her brother offer far more than jazz scholars have ever known about this significant and somewhat enigmatic figure in the history of jazz. All in all, a very complete portrait." - Bill Milkowski, author of Jaco: The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius"More details
