Jazz Unlimited for October 19 will be “Lennie Tristano and His Students.” Lennie Tristano was one of the first teachers of methods of jazz improvisation. His piano playing was characterized by dense, emotionally packed and sometimes dissonant sounds. Tristano's teaching methods recruited students like saxophonists Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh, guitarist Billy Bauer, and pianist Sal Mosca, all of whom will be heard on this show. Konitz and Marsh are two of the most cliche-free improvisers in jazz.
The Slide Show contains images of three of the musicians heard on this show.
This video of Lennie Tristano in Paris in 1965 will be until the morning of October 27. The tunes are "Darn That Dream," "Lullaby of the Leaves" and "Imagination."
