Bill Evans Trio - I Loves You, Porgy

Today's Jazz Corner... Scott LaFaro, the legendary bassist.
LaFaro tragically died in an automobile accident in 1961, at the young age of 25, and came just ten days after recording two live albums with Bill Evans, considered among the finest live jazz recordings - Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby.
LaFaro's death took an enormous emotional toll on Bill Evans, who was, according to drummer Paul Motian, "numb with grief," "in a state of shock," and "like a ghost" after LaFaro's death. Evans would play "I Loves You Porgy", a song with which he and LaFaro became synonymous, almost obsessively, but always as a solo piece. Many believe that Evans never fully recovered from the loss, as well as that it contributed to his pattern of heroin usage, an addiction that would later kill him.
