The complete 1961 Village Vanguard sessions with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. I keep listening and re-listening. Every time, something new. The three players reach a level of dynamic integration that is not common even among the best. I think of an untouched, steep backcountry run, flowing, swooping, laughing, stopping out of breath in the protection of an old tree stand. 8:03:55 PM
