A Few Words about Rick Laird

 


From Jazz Video Guy.  Memories about Rick Laird, the late, great bassist for Mahavishnu Orchestra.  

Rick Laird, the bassist best known for his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, recently caught a cab. Here, Bret shares his memories of Rick and hearing the band live. Also, check out Rick with Sonny Rollins Live at Ronnie Scott's in 1965:

Note: John McLaughlin played on In A Silent Way. I forgot to mention that! And the pianist I neglected to mention on the Rollins' gig was Stan Tracey.
