Lennie Tristano was one of jazz's most extraordinary innovators,
possessing a superb piano technique and an awesome musical
imagination. Unheralded by the general public, the blind pianist's
work was revered by many jazz greats including the legendary
Charlie Parker. Tristano's persuasive personality made him an ideal
teacher, and he proved that (against the accepted theory of the
time) jazz improvisation could be taught. His guidance played a big
part in the development of many instrumentalists including
saxophonists Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh and double-bassist Peter
Ind. It is Ind's long, direct involvement with his subject that
makes this such a revealing book: the story of an English musician
going to New York to study with a neglected Jazz giant. In the
process, Tristano's genius is examined and his reputation revalued,
with Ind making a persuasive case for the pianist to be placed at
the centre of jazz developments in the mid-20th century.
