Scott LaFaro is best known for his work with the Bill Evans trio, with Paul
Motian on drums.  The Village Vanguard Sessions are generally considered to
be a jazz classic since LaFaro and Evans had an uncommon intuitive repoire
that comes out on the record.  LaFaro was killed in a car crash shortly after
these sessions, along with Chris Powell, Bud Powell's brother.  I am not
familiar with any work other than with Bill Evans.  Since you are not familiar
with Evans you should definately check him out, as he is one of the top
jazz pianists of the century.  Buy any of his records.
