About the artist

Bill Evans, Scott Lafaro & Paul Motian

Bill Evans/Scott LaFaro/Paul Motian Trio: The Legendary Jazz Trio Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, and Paul Motian - a trio that needs no introduction. These three musical maestros came together in the late 1950s and created some of the most groundbreaking and influential jazz recordings of all time. Bill Evans, the pianist extraordinaire, was known for his delicate touch and emotional depth. His melodic improvisations were nothing short of mesmerizing, often taking the listener on a transcendent journey through sound. Scott LaFaro, the revolutionary bassist, redefined the role of the bass in jazz music. His innovative approach to rhythm and harmony challenged the norms of the genre and paved the way for future generations of bassists to follow. And then there was Paul Motian, the dynamic drummer who brought a sense of spontaneity and freedom to the trio's music. His creative use of polyrhythms and textures added a layer of complexity that set the trio apart from their peers. Together, Evans, LaFaro, and Motian created a sonic landscape that was at once intimate and expansive. Their performances were a masterclass in musical communication, with each member listening and responding to one another in real-time. Tragically, the trio's time together was cut short when LaFaro passed away in a car accident in 1961. Despite this heartbreaking loss, the music that Evans, LaFaro, and Motian created together continues to inspire and captivate listeners to this day. The Bill Evans/Scott LaFaro/Paul Motian Trio may be no more, but their legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of jazz aficionados everywhere.
