Scott LaFaro, Jimmy McGriff
04/03/12 9:00PM By George Thomas
We celebrate the birthday of Scott LaFaro, a bass player who died too
young but he did leave us with the Bill Evans Trio recordings of the
early 1960's that define the piano trio genre. We also celebrate the
birthday of the Hammond B3 organist Jimmy McGriff.
