The name Lennie Tristano was conspicuously absent from Ken Burns monolithic jazz
documentary. Thats no small omission; Tristanos group, which included the
saxophonists Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz (also ignored by Burns) was the first to
record what later came to be known as free jazz -- music improvised without
pre-ordained melodies, harmonies, or meter. Needless to say, that wasnt
mentioned by Burns, either. Tristano did it in 1949, the year this record was
recorded, with what is essentially the same band (Konitz is absent here, though
he was a regular member of Tristanos group at the time). This record gives no
direct evidence of the bands free jazz experiments -- although Tristano is given
composers credit on all cuts, the disc is comprised mostly of standard harmonic
frameworks played without reference to theme. However, it does reflect the bands
prevailing emphasis on unfettered linear improvisation. The quintet tracks here
were recorded by the groups bassist, Arnold Fishkin, during performances at the
old Birdland in New York. The solo piano cuts were recorded in Chicago, four
years earlier. The sounds rough, but not unlistenable, especially given the
historical implication of the music. Listening to this is like being a fly on
the wall of the worlds most famous jazz club, witnessing history in the making.
It really cant be said that Tristanos piano style was cut from whole cloth --
theres too much of a Bud Powell influence -- but there have been few musicians
on any instrument who played with more spontaneous melodic invention. Two others
who did were Marsh and guitarist Billy Bauer, also present here; this band
placed great importance of creating in the moment, and listening to this music
made over 50 years ago reminds listeners of the value in such an approach.
Little jazz being made at the turn of the millennium rivals this set in terms of
raw creativity. Popular misconceptions aside, this is an important
document.~Chris Kelsey
