Tikitiboo, Ron ! I was in the kitchen away from the Bose speakers and the bass was giving me shivers up my spine......always a "seal of approval" with me. As you know, I love baritone sax, however, I have always been a lover of the bass !!! And WOW ! How did I not know Scott Lafaro's legendary bass. What a genius !!!! So tragic to lose him at the age of 25 ! RIP. I will be digging deep to get to know his work after today's show. Thanks so much guys for introducing me to this magnificent artist !!!!!

While I'm familiar with Bill Evans, I wasn't with Scott Lafaro. What incredible talent for his age. I might have guessed he was 10-15 years older than 25 when this was recorded. Thank you very much for expanding my horizons!

Thank you all!
