Jade Visions - The Life and Music of Scott Lafaro (Electronic book text)

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. Told by his sister with the assistance of well-known jazz experts including Gene Lees, this book uniquely combines family history with insight into LaFaro's music.
