In June 1961, New York City, the legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans forms his perfect trio and records two of the greatest jazz records of all time in one night. Central to the success of this project is Evan’s soul mate and bass player Scott LaFaro. Ten days later, LaFaro dies in a car crash. Numb with grief, Evans stops playing.
