Lennie Tristano - C Minor Complex (circa '60-'62)

Happy birthday Lennie! He could play the most amazing bass lines. Based on "Pennies From Heaven" in minor.

Lennie Tristano - Background Music (6/6/64)

Big thanks to alto saxophonist Nick Lyons for suggesting this amazing solo on the changes to "All Of Me." In Nick's words: "Intense! He abandons the form of the tune - the solo creates its own form. The melodic line is beautiful with a gorgeous density." I wish there were more recordings of Lennie playing this way.
