Steve Kuhn's Stories Of Scott Lafaro, Stan Getz, and John Coltrane

Jazz Bassist Jonah Jonathan sits down with Jazz Piano Legend Steve Kuhn. Steve Kuhn is the quintessential post-bop pianist who has worked with some of the greatest musicians of all time. He started studying piano with Madam Chaloff at 5 before freelancing and playing for Serge Chaloff at 14.Steve graduated from Harvard and shortly after attended the legendary Lenox School Of Jazz where he was fortunate enough to meet cats like Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Gary McFarland, and many others. Steve began working with Kenny Dorham and Stan Getz before becoming the first pianist in John Coltrane's Quartet.During the 60's the other cats he worked with include the late great Scott Lafaro, Roy Haynes, Pete LaRoca, Art Farmer, Ron Carter, Oliver Nelson and many many others! Steve is truly a jazz legend who shares his precious memories on Scott Lafaro and John Coltrane to Jonah Jonathan during the 2013 Montreal International Jazz Festival.

Conversations with the great jazz artist is sooo important. The stories must be told and passed down. Please keep it up.

Thank you , very informative. Wish you would have asked what Coltrane was practicing and if LaFaro's anti-drug ethic influenced him. I need to read Jade Visions again.

Scott lafaro sister wrote a book about her brother? I think I heard Steve say something about Los Angeles press? I'll have to listen again unless anybody reading this can send me the title an author's name

[@alansenzaki4148]

His autobiography is called Jade Visions by Helene Lafaro Fernandez. A must read with a good discography at end of book and a interesting chapter on the restoration of his Prescott bass after the accident.
