Thanks, but don't! I went into the label catalogue and was able to download a Liz and a Connie. PLUS a cut off of the Andy Fite/Red Mitchell side.
Great stuff. Now I gotta decide which ones to order.

I just played "Lennie's pennies" in a gig today.
He was the man, I wonder who is teaching in his line of playing and composing today?

You know, Bill Evans is a direct descendant of Lennie Tristano in many ways. So if you take into consideration Bills influence on the history of the jazz piano, especially in terms of harmony and interplay, every time you hear someone influenced by Bill, and that's ALOT of pianists, your'e hearing someone who, without even knowing it, was influenced by Lennie. This is maybe stretching it, but I believe it to be true. Jazz is like that......

Sal Mosca, my teacher Joe, Harvey Diamond in Boston, Peter Prisco, Charles Sibirsky, I don't know if Jimmy Halperin teaches (but prolly). I know Sal and Charles each have websites, Sal is gonna be closest to the "sun source".


Paul - HIGHLY RECOMMEND the duo record with Liz and Charley. She's just this slight, little, happy girl of a woman (I met her before I heard her play) and then this THUNDER comes out of the piano. They are playing over standards or standard harmony with a couple of freely improvised pieces that are just stunningly beautiful....

Hey Ed do you know if Joe Solomon Has a web site/
I tried to look for but no luck.
Is he teaching, how do I get in contact with him?
Thanks
Leco

 

[Ed Fuqua]

Naw, Joe's kind of a Luddite - no website, no e-mail, no cell phone. He is teaching, the studio is in Manhattan (FlatIron area) and the studio phone is in an e-mail to you.

Thanks Ed

I just read "An Unsung Cat", a biography of Warne Marsh, ...

The title comes from a quote from Branford Marsalis, he was being interviewed and the writer was asking him about different saxophonists and mentioned Warne, Branford said "now there's an unsung cat!"

Thought I'd drag up this old thread to reccomend a book thats recently been published by Peter Ind, the great english double bassist who studied with Tristano, and worked with him for years (as well as bird, miles, etc etc)
His book is called 'Jazz Visions: Lennie Tristano and his legacy' and is really interesting, mostly about lennie and his teaching, some thoughts on other stuff and some autobiographical bits.
Lots of good anecdotes as well!

ps-thanks for bringing up this old thread, I'd forgotten about it. It meant a lot to me that this was discussed on TB.

I remember having read about Tristano on here and his revolutionary playing/teachings etc. In April, I went to an audition workshop that had a class in Advanced Improvisation with Kirk McDonald teaching it. If you don't know who he is, he's probably one of the best known Canadian sax players around, and a first rate, world class musician -- so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask, right?

...wow. Having never heard Tristano, it was absolutely incredible listening to him play different examples on his horn of the stuff, but I'm not going to lie...a lot of the practical application, rather than just the theoretical, went zooming over my head. He didn't have time to get past basic instruction on Tristano's rhythmic displacement, but I'm really excited to learn more about it in the fall.

Also, there's a french biography called Lennie Tristano by Fracois Billard on www.amazon.ca as well.

I haven't listened to that much of LT's music but I can always tell it's him in the first few notes. His music reminds me of a flock of small speedy birds flying in tight formation, all changing direction at once.

First time I ever heard of him was in an interview with guitarist Joe Satriani--the lessons he took with Tristano apparently had a profound influence on him.
