Mr. Tristano: 'Man of Mystery'

CLEVER, SEARCHING jazz remains difficult to grasp at times. However, if one opens up the mind then a person can achieve terrific enjoyment. The elegant blind jazz pianist, Lennie Tristano, is a super musicality human. His brash jazz of the late 40s and early 50s slashes toward us and we are mesmerized by the cascading, sly harmonic joys of the sounds. Mr. Tristano...a little later on....helped give energy to the "free jazz" movement. It is fun to comprehend the aggressive modernism of Mr. Lennie Tristano.
