商品簡介
In an effort to rectify the lack of attention given to the contributions of pianist, composer, and teacher Lennie Tristano, Ind, who knew and played with Tristano, recalls the New York jazz scene in the forties and fifties, provides an analysis of his jazz improvisation and teaching, and stresses his legacy. He links Tristano's influence to musicians Lee Konitz, Wayne Marsh, Sal Mosca, Ronnie Ball, and the author, among others, and reviews his teaching techniques and myths about him and jazz in general.
