5 out of 5 stars Bebop heaven.......2007-01-09

Yes, the king of hot and the father of cool jamming together. The audio quality is what you would expect for 1947-1951. Tristano is a bit solo shy is seems, but the way he accompanies Parker is nothing short of genius. It is obvious these men had a great respect for each other's different interpretation of swing. Well worth any serious jazz fan's dollar.

5 out of 5 stars Tristano & Bird - Tiger Rag!.......2006-07-31

This album chronicles the sadly few recorded encounters between two titans of 1940s jazz, Charlie Parker and Lennie Tristano. Despite the sometimes-reticence of Tristano to solo in the presence of Bird, much of the album is remarkable for the complete musical sympathy these two great musicians bring out in each other.

The first two tracks on the album are actually the last time Tristano played with Bird, an August 1951 session at Tristano's home. They chronicle the only known recorded performance by Bird of "I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me," and the only complete performance by him of "All of Me." These tracks were used by Clint Eastwood in his filmed biography of Bird, but in that instance Tristano's chording was replaced by a digitally-applied rhythm section. Much to the disappointment of Tristano fans, Lennie does not solo at all, but merely comps behind Bird, but the chords he feeds him are quite different from those Bird usually had on record. (Of Bird's other pianists, Tristano rightly commented that "Most of the kids who played piano for Bird and played in his style, they always used the same chord progression...The right chord structure is not behind him." Exceptions to this rule, of course, were the great Al Haig (Bird's favorite pianist), Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, none of whom recorded or played with him often enough. As good as the others were, they simply were not on the same musical wavelength as Bird.

The remainder of the album includes the famous 1949 Metronome All-Star session and three wonderful 1947 radio broadcasts. The Metronome tracks were previously issued on RCA Bluebird's "Complete Dizzy Gillespie" set, but here the sound is warmer, less shrill, the bass full and rich, and there is yet another alternate take of "Victory Ball" not previously issued. The airchecks are in miraculously good condition, and come from a time when the "Boppers" were still at "war" with the Dixieland musicians, known as "Moldy Figs." In each of the first two broadcasts, jazz critic Barry Ulanov represented the Boppers, Rudi Blesh the Moldy Figs. The "Figs" are not represented here but, to be fair to them, their number included two of the very greatest improvisers of the era, trumpeter Wild Bill Davison and clarinetist Edmond Hall, so their music could not have been nearly as anachronistic as the media-created "duel" would lead you to believe.

In the first encounter, the Boppers and Figs each chose their own material. The group of Dizzy, Bird, John LaPorta, Tristano, Billy Bauer, Ray Brown and Max Roach (talk about All-Stars!!) play their hearts out on "Hot House," "I Surrender Dear" and "Fine and Dandy." In the second, the Figs required the Boppers to play old standards, "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "How Deep is the Ocean?," and, wonder of wonders, "Tiger Rag"! You cannot imagine, without hearing it, how this group tears into Nick LaRocca's old chestnut - top speed, engines revved up to full ahead, no holds barred. Both Bird and Tristano contribute their absolute hottest solos in this track. Listeners calling in chose the Boppers as winners of this contest - small wonder. I doubt there has ever been a "Tiger Rag" like this in the entire history of recording.

As part of their "celebration," the Boppers were brought back on November 8 for a concert all by themselves, but the results are not quite as synergistic. Dizzy, Brown and Roach were unavailable; their replacements, Fats Navarro, Tommy Potter and Buddy Rich, play their hearts out, and Allen Eager is added on tenor sax for the occasion (as is Sarah Vaughan, who gets to sing one number, "Everything I Have is Yours"), but in this case the musicians are given solo spotlights rather than ensemble improvisations. Still, it IS Lennie with Bird, and Navarro is his usual brilliant self.

Highly recommended to all lovers of great jazz.

This CD brings together some of the greatest cool jazz ever recorded--Tristano's 1949 sextet sessions for Capitol and Marsh's 1956 masterpiece Jazz of Two Cities. 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. While less adventurous, Marsh's 1956 outing (with Ted Brown on tenor sax) is a beautiful collection of standards and originals. It clearly demonstrates why Tristano thought Marsh was one of the great jazz improvisers. --Bill Holdship

5 out of 5 stars Way Ahead of the Times!.......2002-08-29

Tristano was a musician more talked about than listened to during his heyday. But he was way ahead of his time...really music hasn't truly caught up with him (as it hasn't really caught up with any of the great innovators.) This album contains all of Tristano's classic 1949 sides recorded for Capitol with his sextet. On the surface, this stuff sounds like bop...but listen closely, it is really another world.

Most of the tunes are based on traditional chord changes, like bop heads. But the heads are more intricate, requiring more arrangement, sometimes quite complex arrangement. Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz are terrific in their solos. Both show a penchant for long winding lines that explore the farthest reaches of the chord changes, and an approach to rhythm that is both smooth and angular at the same time. The phrasing is quick and light, but the accents of the lines reach accross the time signatures.

Tristano is a wonder. He was the master of the impossibly long line...melodic material spins out from his fingers in seemingly endless streams. Tristano is all about invention. He doesn't seem to have any licks at all. You never know where line will end up. It is endlessly inventive and exciting playing. And his harmonic structure is nearly Scriabinesque.

The revolutionary cuts from this period are Intuition and Digression. Both are examples of completely free playing, something that Tristano'sgroups had been experimenting with for many years in their live gigs. This is not the kind of free playing that you would hear from the great avant-gardists of the 60's. Rather, it is full of feeling, but not emotive...exploratory but not dissonant for dissonance's sake. The players form an almost telepathic bond, with motives and phrases past around from member to member. The freedom, which is intense, never descends into chaos, as it could in the worst examples of the New York energy school. And Tristano, like Cecil Taylor after him, directs everything from the keyboard. These are experiments, but ones that every musician should hear. Close study of Tristano would put alot of energy back into the worn out "New Traditionalist" movement in jazz.

The Warne Marsh cuts from the late 50s initially disappointed me, partly because I hadn't looked carefully at the cover info, and I was expecting all Tristano. Compared to the adventurousness of the 1949 cuts, the Marsh sides sound like alot of other "West Coast School" jazz albums. But that's just a superficial reading of the recordings. More careful listening shows that Marsh really profitted from his time in New York with Tristano. His lines are still exploratory and "out" in a way that Chet Baker and even Gerry Mulligan never really approached. Marsh may have been one of the more underrated tenor players of the 50's. This set swings, but repays careful listening as well.

tThe remastering of the sides is terrific. They both sound much more modern than their dates would suggest...the Tristano sides sound cleaner than I've ever heard them, even on vinyl!

So get this disc for the Tristano sides, they are classic. But the Marsh sides are worth a listen too. You owe it to yourself to listen to these searching musicians. They will expand your appreciation of the art form of jazz.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you Amazon Listomania!.......2001-10-05

If not for listomania and the people who have chosen this cd as one of their favorites; as well as giving it glowing reviews, I never would have found it. 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. You can tell by my rating that I was very pleased with the results. Thanks again, everyone who recommended this one to me. I never would have discovered it without you guys.

5 out of 5 stars this music sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded!.......1999-07-26

Years ago as a high school student, one evening after midnight, I turned on my bedside radio and came upon radio station WJZ from New York. The DJ was Symphony Sid Torin who played jazz from midnight to five A.M. That was the first time heard WOW which appears on this CD. That tune got me hooked on the players of the Tristano school. The music was entirely different than what was happening at the time and remains so today. This music sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded. All tunes except Digression and Intuition which are the first recorded attempts at free form playing, are based on the chord progressions of standard tunes. Marionette is September in the rain, Sax of a kind is on the Fine and Dandy changes and so forth. The Warne Marsh Quintet recordings originally released in mono as Jazz of Two Cities and stereo as The Winds of Marsh, are a lot looser and more swinging. Every selection in this CD has stood the test of time. I had the 78rpm copies of the Tristano material, later on LP, and also the Warne Marsh LP. The Warne Marsh tracks also feature tenor saxophonist Ted Brown who I believe to be the freshest improviser in jazz today. Two fine examples of Ted's more current playing can be heard on the Lee Konitz CD called Figure and Spirit and Ted's own date for Criss Cross called Free Spirit. Don't miss hearing it.

5 out of 5 stars The greatest cool jazz artists you never heard of...........1999-01-13

After falling in love with The Cool (Chet Baker, Mulligan, Miles, McCoy Tyner and others) I was searching for new names. BINGO. This recording is up there with the best of the them. Buy this if you're wondering if anything will ever approach birth of the cool....

5 out of 5 stars This is beautiful music by some under-appreciated musicians.......1998-12-02

Before buying this wonderful CD, I had read that Lennie Tristano was an under-appreciated musical genius. After buying it, I understand that he was a genius and needs to be listened to by more people. I can't believe that Tristano was making music like this in the late '40s. It is complex, but beautiful. The song "Yesterdays" is a flowing melody between piano and guitar that is one of the prettiest pieces of music I have ever heard. I sincerely hope that more music enthusiasts will introduce themselves to Lennie Tristano.

By the way, the Warne Marsh tracks are almost as beautiful. Buy this music!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Tristano was a jazz genius.......2007-02-27

    Mixed in with many of the more well known jazz musicians were some wonderful musicians that other musicians knew and loved, but the general public knew little about. Unfortunately, Tristano was one of these. A brilliant composer and pianst, his body of music is often hard for the average listener to access, since it didn't always follow along "traditional" lines. I always thought of Tristano as the technically magnificent Monk, but that sells both musicians short. Tristano was his own man, and the music that poured out from him was challenging, but always brilliant. It is a crime against nature and Tristano that the recording company left "C Minor Complex" off of this CD, though. Obviously, whoever made this CD knew very little about the music.

    5 out of 5 stars A very important jazz record from an underestimated genius.......2004-05-07

    Lennie Tristano was a piano genius and also a master of arranging and making new and inspirational jazz music. The best example is here in this double package of his 2 most well-known jazz records: Lennie Tristano from 1955 and The New Tristano from 1962. The first contains the 4 masteful compositions Line Up, Requiem, Turkish Mambo and East Thirty-Second Street which is brilliant in its use of time changes, melody lines and atmosphere. Requiem is a great tribute to Charlie Parker who died the same year as this record was made. The rest of the record is 5 live recordings with Lee Konitz on tenor sax. Ghost of a chance is a very fine version. Lennie was a fan of the long, emotional improvisational line on the piano, and this is most evident in the solo record The New Tristano. This is a great piano classic with Lennie mixing in classical inspirations as well as bop, stride and whatever path his feelings lead him to in the creation of the music. My favourites here are Becoming, Love Lines and G Minor Complex. Absolutely essential jazz. Another record which is recommended is the hard-to-get Descent In the Maelstrom with the incredible title track.

    4 out of 5 stars difficult, but excellent jazz.......2000-06-15

    Immortalized in Jack Kerouac's On the Road, this CD features Lennie Tristano in a variety of settings. If Bill Evans is the most colorful piano player jazz has ever produced, then Tristano is certainly the most "black and white", as his playing focuses on technique and composition rather than feeling. This takes a little bit of getting used to, even if you're a jazz fan; his playing at first might seem a little clunky and off-kilter, but it defintiely uncovers new rewards with each listen. In my opinion the only drawback is the live recordings, which, despite the prescence of the excellent Lee Konitz, aren't quite as special as the rest.

    4 out of 5 stars Great music; poor release........2000-01-21

    If you are at all interested in the art of solo jazz piano you _must_ listen to this CD, which contains two Tristano albums, 'Lennie Tristano' (which also includes his trio), and 'The New Tristano' (which doesn't). The first of these albums features Tristano's revolutionary use of overdubbing, which led critics in the fifties to savage this album; many considered the technique as being somehow 'anti-jazz'. To answer these critcs/iques Tristano recorded 'The New Tristano' which used no overdubbing. Many people feel that this album is his masterwork. Here his improvisations have the intellectual rigour of the Bach preludes and fugues, while maintaining a strong swinging forward motion reminiscent of Art Tatum. Some of the best 'line playing' in jazz can be found here -- I love this album! The only reservation I have with this 'two for one' release is that the crown jewel of 'The New Tristano', 'C Minor Complex', is not included for lack of space. This is almost an insult to Tristano's memory, and at least a crying shame. This muck-up could be compared to leaving 'So What' off Miles Davis's 'Kind of Blue'. For this reason I give this CD 4, not 5 (or 10 if I could) stars.

    3 out of 5 stars Uneven sound.......2004-10-08

    Great recordings by one the most underrated genious of jazz. Includes many live tracks, and the historic sessions with Lee Koonitz and Warne Marsh. But the sound is awful on a few of these sides, it looks like they did not want to take the time & money to remaster them, they just throw them in there, so you may end up searching for better remaster for a few of these sides.

        3 out of 5 stars Wired.......2000-05-14

        Musically, this album is exactly what it should be. Tristano, Konitz and Marsh play beautifully. Listening to this collection should be like sitting through an excellent set at a club. The problem is: These performances were captured on a wire recorder, which was (decades ago) a fairly convenient machine for audial documentation 'in the field'. But it wasn't designed to provide decent musical sound quality, and this CD provides us with a painfully typical example of that fact. I'm not talking about clipped highs or booming bass; essentially there are no highs or lows.

        However, it must be reiterated that the quality of the playing is truly excellent. If you love this music and these musicians, you'll be glad you purchased "WOW". It's a wonderful set. But if you've never heard the Tristano School's sound, get your first taste from another source. This particular CD is for initiated collectors only.
