Scott LeFaro Mentioned in Motian Interview

I came to Scott LaFaro, backwards- through Bill Frisell, and Frisell's association with Motian, and then Motian's association with Bill Evans and LaFaro.

As I listen to this interview (see link), I miss LaFaro even more. It's a Motian interview, but LaFaro is mentioned, and may be of interest:

Since LeFaro didn't play electric, I'll move this to where it belongs.

Before you guys even start to talk about Scott...

LEARN TO SPELL HIS NAME.

Again, my error- posted late at night into the wrong category, and now I see misspelled his name. This can happen late at night. And I was posting a link for your enjoyment and information, so relax.

Ps, I corrected all the misspellings of LaFaro that I could. I've fixed all that I can fix.

Click on the "Listen" button at the top of the page. It is an audio interview.

Maybe he was just responding to his environment, the couple of times I've spoken with him here he's been just one of the guys...

The interview is more important than the slight mistake of spelling. Not to worry, '73.

Mr Motian made some important statements about Bill Evans heroin addiction. And ONLY because he was asked. Very informative interview.
