Influences
During his tragically short life, Scott LaFaro quickly developed into one of the most advanced bassists around, competing with Charlie Haden and Charles Mingus. He emphasized high notes, could play with great speed, and his interplay with Bill Evans in their trio was mutually stimulating and influential.

LaFaro joined the Bill Evans Trio in 1959 and, although he would record with Ornette Coleman (including Free Jazz) and gig with Stan Getz, the bassist is best-remembered for his association with Evans, particularly their Village Vanguard recordings of 1961. The 25-year-old Scott LaFaro's death in a car accident shortly after was a major shock to the jazz world.

   About Bill Evans

Bill had this quiet fire that I loved on piano. The way he approached it, the sound he got was like crystal notes or sparkling water cascading down from some clear waterfall.
Miles Davis

Bill Evans is one to the most influential pianists in modern jazz. His introspective lyricism and subtle Western classical flourishes have influenced a legion of jazz pianists. He also broke new ground with his piano trios, expanding the roles for the bass and drums.

Evans studied classical music and composition, but started playing jazz in the 1950s. He began recording in 1956, and in 1958 was invited to play piano for the Miles Davis quintet. Davis and Evans shared an interest in European composers and together they experimented with structure and improvisation, resulting in the classic and influential album Kind of Blue. Evans left the quintet and founded his own trio, worked with several different combos and continued to experiment. A popular and critical success, he recorded dozens of albums, including Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1958 ) and Conversations With Myself (1963), in which he accompanied himself through double- and triple-track recording. Today he is considered one of the most distinctive and influential jazz pianists of all time.

Tracteur Jack commence à se faire sentir dans une variété grandissante de stations et d'émissions! Leur affront des médias de diffusion porte fruit, et il n'est que normal que l'on entende de plus en plus régulièrement Tim Horton's, La Fat et La Valse des Corbeaux. En effet, le groupe s'est fait diffuser aux ondes d'Espace Musique, de la radio satellite de Bandeapart, CISM, CHOI, et CBC Radio 3.

La version matérielle finale de "La Maquette 2008" de Tracteur Jack est aussi finalement mis en vente sur tracteurjack.com, au modique prix de 5,00$! Livré avec pochette en carton rigide et en qualité sonore impeccable, c'est maintenant le temps de vous procurer la petite perle d'histoire du Jack!
