* A treasure trove of insight into this brilliant modern jazz bassist and his creative process, this is essential listening for all musicians and music students. * A portion of the proceeds go to the International Society of Bassists. "LaFaro"s story is compelling not only because of his own prowess as a musician, but also due to the company he kept.

Scott LaFaro." -- Frank Allyer, Publisher, DownBeat
