Discovered McFarland a few months back through Bill Evans, whom Im also a big fan of. He is one of the most underrated jazz musicians I have ever heard in my life. Some of his compositions are just breathtaking!
When you are sought out by the cerebral (Bill Evans, John Lewis, Steve Kuhn) but your main recording career is instrumental pop-jazz, you got a schizo thing going on. Died of poisoning in a NYC bar at 38. Excellent vibist and big band leader/arranger.
