Scott LaFaro:  Musician Associates 


Table 1 below lists musicians with whom LaFaro recorded.  Table 2 lists musicians with whom LaFaro played, but no known recordings were made of the group's playing at the time, bootleg or other. I've included Paul Bley in the latter table.  Bley made a recording with LaFaro and others in Los Angeles, but the master tapes were lost purportedly to a warehouse fire.
