In 1959, trailblazing pianist Bill Evans assembled one of the greatest trios in jazz history, thanks to the intuitive artistry of bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. Over the next year and a half, they would establish a groundbreaking and highly influential improvisational style that challenged the status quo and shifted the genre’s landscape. While their time together was heartbreakingly brief, they left behind two live albums and two seminal studio albums that continue to inspire musicians to this day.
