Damn, how did I miss this?
In a blindfold test I would NEVER guess Scott LaFaro on this. So swinging....wow, a Leroy Vinnegar style walking solo on an uptempo I Love You?!? 
This record is amazing.

"The Arrival of Victor Feldman" and "Latinsville" both work for me. |

Now I gotta check out "Latinville". |

And the very first recording...."This is Pat Moran".
And the one with Getz.
Check Scott's site for discography.

Compared to other bassists of that influential stature, it's quite a petite discography. Pretty impressive. I would like to hear him play in a more "straight-ahead" context, so I'll have to check out the albums you guys are talking about. Thanks.

Here is a link to his discography from the Chuck Ralston page: http://www.geocities.com/chuck_ralston/11slfdis.htm
There's a lot of duplication but still he was on dozens of albums. He was a seriously BUSY guy given that he only played bass for 6 years and he died at age 25. I don't think the discography is complete either. I don't see the Stan Getz disc from the Newport set that he played a couple days before he died. I have it so I know it exists.
One of the better ones is Jazz Abstractions by John Lewis. He is all over that one. So is Bill Evans for that matter.

mark | That is a much more filled discography than the one I saw. I still say it's few compared to his contemporaries (of which there are few). Cool list to have, though.
