Scott LaFaro bass solo transcription: Crazeology (Little Benny)

Taken from the 1958 Hampton Hawes album: For Real! on the OJC/Contemporary label. LaFaro was all off 22 years old when he recorded this (not to mention the other incredible artists he was working with in his tragically short life). This 6 track album features great solos all around with Harold Land taking lead on tenor and Frank Butler getting to shine on trading sections. La Faro's walking lines are innovative if not a little too chromatic for my taste at times, still the groove is unmistakably bebop and all jazz bassists would do well to absorb this record.
