	The Lennie Tristano Experience
		Lennie Tristano is one of those who have not yet received their critical due.
		Tristano's written lines were a great deal more involved than the already complex melodies typical of bebop; he subdivided and multiplied the beat in odd groupings, and his harmonies did not always behave in a manner consistent with functional tonality.
		Tristano's bassists and drummers were not expected to interact in the manner of a bop rhythm section, but to support the music's melodic and harmonic substance.

	Lennie Tristano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leonard Joseph Tristano (1919 - 1978) was a jazz pianist and composer.
		Tristano was blind from infancy and studied piano and music theory from pre-teen years.
		Tristano's mimicking of a jazz bassist's accompaniment with his left hand on these recordings is distinctive and often imitated; the combination of this line with the dazzling line-spinning of his right hand also gives the music a contrapuntal flavour explicitly paying homage to Bach.

		Rhythmically Tristano was also his own man, and the way he put it all together was unique.
		A Lennie Tristano Trio including Bauer recorded for Keynote '46 with Clyde Lombardi on bass, '47 with Bob Leininger: 19 tracks included eleven alternative takes (six different versions of 'Interlude', aka 'Night In Tunisia'), plus an untitled fast blues almost four minutes long, have been compiled on a Mercury CD.
		Tristano recorded two tracks for his own Jazz label '51 with Ind and Roy Haynes, doing some overdubbing, some of which was speeded up in the mastering; nobody noticed at the time.

		Tristano and Bauer were elected to the 1948 Metronome All Stars, and the 1949 All Star record was dominated by Tristano, Konitz, and Bauer, just months after their New Jazz (Prestige) and Capitol recordings.
		Lennie Tristano was born in Chicago in 1919, and from the ages nine to nineteen, studied piano, wind instruments, and theory in a school for the blind.
		The music of Lennie Tristano and his associates was a rewarding branch of the transformations bop brought to jazz in the nineteen forties.

	Jazz Visions: Lennie Tristano & His Legacy, Peter Ind
		Lennie Tristano was one of jazz's most extraordinary innovators, possessing a superb piano technique and an awesome musical imagination.
		Tristano's persuasive personality made him an ideal teacher, and he proved that (against the accepted theory of the time) jazz improvisation could be taught.
		In the process, Tristano's genius is examined and his reputation revalued, with Ind making a persuasive case for the pianist to be placed at the centre of jazz developments in the mid-twentieth century.

	BBC - Radio 3 Jazz Profiles - Lennie Tristano
		While he was studying for his music degree in Chicago in the early 1940s, he had already begun playing and working with a circle of musicians who became his pupils - including saxophonist Lee Konitz and guitarist Billy Bauer.
		Tristano mastered the bebop style, playing both intricate runs and sustained chordal passages, and by the late 1940s was working in New York, where he made some significant discs with the musicians who had developed bebop - notably Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
		In the early 1950s, Tristano opened his own jazz school, and for the rest of his life he focussed on teaching rather than playing.

		Encouraged by his mother, Tristano learned piano and various reed instruments while still a very small child, despite steadily deteriorating eyesight (he was born during a measles epidemic).
		Among the lessons Tristano imparted to his pupils were those of strict precision in ensemble playing, complete command of the instrument and the ability to play complex shifts of time signature within a piece.
		Clearly, Tristano was a powerful influence upon the many musicians he taught and through them upon countless more, especially through the work of such pupils as Peter Ind and Konitz, himself an important teacher.

		However, the main reason to acquire this CD is for the seven remarkable Tristano tracks which feature his finest group (consisting of the pianist/leader, altoist Lee Konitz, Marsh on tenor, guitarist Billy Bauer, bassist Arnold Fishkin, and either Harold Granowsky or Denzil Best on drums).

	Lennie Tristano : Requiem (Atlantic) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		This two-LP set reissues the complete contents of pianist Lennie Tristano's two Atlantic studio albums which were originally titled Lennie Tristano and The New Tristano.
		The first album was considered very controversial for on four selections Tristano overdubbed several pianos and altered the tape, speeding up and slowing down the individual tracks.
		The remainder of the first album matches Tristano with altoist Lee Konitz, bassist Gene Ramey, and drummer Art Taylor and, although more conventional, are quite individual; the quartet takes apart and evaluates five standards.

		Wild because Tristano's advanced use of chromaticism, counterpoint and bitonality as well as his absolutely awesome technique is otherworldly.
		Tristano is definitely playing bebop music on these recordings but with a twist.
		When Lennie Tristano died in 1978 none of his many amazing recordings were available.

	The History of Jazz Music. Lennie Tristano: biography, discography, review, links
		Chicago's blind pianist Lennie Tristano (1919), of Italian-American descent, who arrived in New York in 1946, fused bebop and 20th-century classical music in his abstract meditations that wove extended melodies over subdued rhythms, the musical equivalent of a renaissance painting with a complex building in the foreground and a simple, pastoral landscape in the background.
		Tristano coined that language in 1947, via a series of uncompromising recordings both solo (Atonement in may 1947, Spontaneous Combustion in september 1947) and in a drum-less trio with a guitarist (Billy Bauer) and a bassist (Dissonance, Parallel, Apellation, Abstraction, Palimpsest, Freedom in december 1947).
		The dynamic of his compositions was often cyclic, alternating quiet passages and stormy passages, hinting at an endless cycle of rebirths.

	The Lennie Tristano Experience
		The evolution of jazz (for the most part) stopped with Lennie Tristano, my dad's brother, yet all of the predecessors were necessary to arrive at that evolutionary point in time.
		My cousin Lennie had an old Conn tenor from the thirties that used to be my dads, who bought it from my uncle.
		He had studied with Lennie of course, and so had my cousin Lennie - what a lucky kid, two LT alums in the house, at my disposal.

		Tristano's sessions (which feature Marsh and Lee Konitz on sax) are breathtaking displays of exciting and intellectually challenging bop, and the final two cuts--"Intuition" and "Digression"--prefigure free jazz.
		Tristano was a musician more talked about than listened to during his heyday.
		I've never heard of Lennie Tristano in my life, but after finding this cd on Amazon I thought that I would give it a try.

		I would remember this for the rest of my life, particularly one very stirring musical event as performed in a rare public appearance by Lennie Tristano.
		It was the first and only time in my life that I would ever see Lennie Tristano perform.
		He had written a solo piece, dedicated to Charlie Parker, titled "Requiem." It was the most intense, sacred and moving music I'd ever heard from anyone.

		Completely blind from the age of 11, pianist Lennie Tristano became incredibly focused on the purity of sound.
		He sought, taught, and achieved perfection of tonal expression both in himself and his accompanists (most importantly Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh).
		He had a deep influence on the "cool jazz" school, and his excursions into proto-free jazz left a legacy that has yet to be fully appreciated.

		En 1955, cédant à la demande des responsables du label Atlantic, Tristano accepta de leur livrer quelques bandes qu'il avait réalisées dans son propre studio.
		Au regard de ces sévères exercices rythmiques dans lesquels Tristano convoque Bach, les autres plages de l'album sont d'une spontanéité toute différente.
		Tristano se confie davantage, bâillonne moins son lyrisme.
