about

Pieces of Jade features material previously unavailable to American audiences. Among the highlights is a rare glimpse inside the creative process with LaFaro in an extended practice session with Bill Evans, both of them working through a standard they practically owned, “My Foolish Heart.” Also included are five selections recorded in New York City during 1961 that showcase LaFaro with pianist Don Friedman and drummer Pete LaRoca.

"LaFaro's story is compelling not only because of his own prowess as a musician, but also due to the company he kept. How many musicians by their 25th year could say they had played with Benny Goodman, Ornette Coleman, Chet Baker, Stan Kenton, and Bill Evans? Only one. Scott LaFaro." -- Frank Allyer, Publisher, DownBeat

A portion of the proceeds go to the International Society of Bassists.

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900

Spectacular. A really killer record with a musical cast of giants. Maybe I'm biased - Dave Holland's musical sensibilities almost always resonate with me. This is real good jazz. Mohan Thomas
