Gewoon een lekker Jazz album, Njoy!!

This is Bromberg’s 28th album as a leader, showcasing him in a swinging and unadulterated trio setting alongside pianist Tom Zink and drummer Charles Ruggiero. An album in which Brian Bromberg demonstrates his passion for this musician, with impeccable interpretation and sumptuous arrangements. After stints as a sideman with pianist/vibraphonist Victor Feldman, pianist Hampton Hawes, trumpeter Chet Baker, and bandleader Stan Kenton, Scott LaFaro joined the Bill Evans Trio in 1959 and, over the next two years, forged new paths on the instrument, developing a counter-melodic accompanying style rather than playing traditional bass lines. His unmatched virtuosity as a soloist set him apart from his contemporaries. Evans, LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian were committed to the idea of three equal voices in the trio, working together towards a singular musical concept and often without any musician explicitly keeping time. Perhaps their most famous recordings are the two albums cut in June 1961 – “Sunday at the Village Vanguard” and “Waltz for Debby”. LaFaro tragically passed away in a car accident a month later, on July 5, 1961, in Seneca, New York, at the tender age of 25.
