Release Notes:

This CD brings back a formerly rare set by Warne
Marsh, plus seven classic performances that serve
as the high point of Lennie Tristano's career.
Oddly enough, the Tristano date is programmed
second. First is a full-length album which matches
Warne Marsh with the cooler but complementary tone
of fellow tenor Ted Brown (plus pianist Ronnie
Ball, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Jeff
Morton). The original eight selections are joined
by four alternate takes recorded in mono. Marsh and
Brown blend together well, Ball has several
creative solos, and most of the "originals" are
based closely on familiar standards. 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). Tristano's music was
unique and even more advanced than most bop of the
late '40s. While he confined the rhythm section to
very quiet timekeeping, the vibrato-less horns and
Tristano himself played very long melodic lines,
constantly improvising. The stunning unisons
performed by Konitz and Marsh (particularly on
"Wow") still sound remarkable today, as does the
interplay of the two horns on "Sax of a Kind."
"Intuition" and "Digression" were the first
recorded free improvisations in jazz, but are quite
coherent due to the musicians' familiarity with
each other. Due to the Lennie Tristano
performances, this CD reissue (which has over 75
minutes of music) is essential for all jazz
collections.
