Records bearing Lennie Tristanos name began to appear in 1946. His amazing music
filled the closing chapter of Harry Lims Keynote catalog, and you couldnt ask
for a more futuristic finale. Out on a Limb opens with a pleasantly dissonant
flurry of ascending and descending runs. It is an exciting taste of where jazz
was headed then and has been heading ever since. Tristanos music is refreshingly
brisk and challenging. Like so many compositions in early modern jazz, most of
Lennies creations were based on existing melodies. Out on a Limb is built over
the chord progressions of Earl Hines You Can Depend on Me, a song that was also
clearly the inspiration for Lerner & Loewes Almost Like Being in Love. Guitarist
Billy Bauer was Lennies right-hand man. He often carried the melody so the
pianist could fully exercise his individuality. Lennie liked to initiate
startling pinwheels of repetition where youd least expect them to appear.
Several times during I Cant Get Started, he cheerfully knocks out a stack of
what would conventionally have been considered wrong notes. Everything flows
naturally, especially on Untitled Blues, which is three minutes and 45 seconds
of free and fearless collective improvisation. Stopping abruptly in mid-phrase,
apparently because somebody told him they were running out of room on the 10
recording platter, Tristano is silent, then traces a few more arpeggios as a
voice asks, What happened? The musicians had slipped into full-throttle jam
mode, forgetting that they were in a recording studio, subject to time
constraints. This wonderful piece of vérité languished for years before
being issued as part of the complete Keynote collection. On the October 8, 1946,
session, Tristano ran down no less than six versions of Dizzy Gillespies
Interlude. What we have here is the first take. Six days later, Tristanos trio
made two sides for V-Disc, specifically intended for the cultural enrichment of
armed forces personnel. Here again was Gillespies tune, now bearing the title A
Night in Tunisia. Lennie recorded a series of unaccompanied piano solos in
September of 1947, but the people at Victor Records couldnt bring themselves to
issue these tracks at the time. Thank goodness listeners get to hear them now!
Unlike a lot of peoples chronological reissues, this one is consistent from stem
to stern. While digesting multiple Keynote takes is a gas, its good to hear just
the masters bundled together with some of Tristanos rarest small-label sides.
About halfway through the disc you stop trying to figure out which jazz
standards were used as skeletons for adventurous collective improvisation. You
grow lightheaded, and all that really matters are the rituals of experimentation
and humble acceptance. As Ornette Coleman would say, after a certain point there
really are no wrong notes. Or, as Arnold Schoenberg might add, no tone is more
or less legitimate than any other. Which brings us to the question of how
something can be avant-garde when its been around for generations. Doesnt the
term tell us more about audience -- and critical -- limitations than it does
about music or art? The answers lie somewhere between these early Tristano
recordings and the extended improvisations that Anthony Braxton has based upon
Tristanos still-astonishing ideas. There is no limit to what can be accomplished
with intuitive music.
