    Hi Dave. I have listened to Lennie thousands of times on these recordings since first introduced to his music by my high school chum Vic Lesser in 10th grade (1970) who studied with Lenny Popkin at the time. This music has nourished me through thick and thin and I never tire of it as i never tire of Bach's piano music (or Prez for that matter.). I did get to hear Sal Mosca a few times in 1971, along with Popkin. I wanted to thank you for this lesson. I am finally learning piano now and improvising, and this was very helpful, to understand what Lennie did technically which explains to my why his music is so thrilling, esp all the stuff on New Tristano, which must be my favorite of all. As you said, "one of the great moments in jazz history"...a kind of spiritual equivalent to Roy Eldridge's Heckler's Hop or any of a number of Prez's solos like Honeysuckle Rose or Shoe Shine Boy. . Up until now i have just been listening closely, but without the benefit of any formal training. Its so exciting to see someone else so thrilled by this music as you are, and for damn good reason. Thanks again for this great lesson, Eyton Shalom

  • @gingervytis
    @gingervytis 8 років тому

    Dave, you mentioned that Lenny had you practice scales with two, three and four fingers. I tried that today on some Hanon-like patterns. I also tried using two, three or four fingers in limited combinations over some of the basic rhythmic groupings for improv. Specifically, I avoided using the thumb. I instantly found that this approach forces me out of playing lines by habitual muscle memory, and instead induces new small motifs and helps my lines begin to open up.
    I would be very interested to know more about Lenny's limited finger scale methods.
    Thanks!

    @sclogse1 12 років тому

    I keep hearing You And The Night And The Music in this, and also, in terms of your question of what Lennie is doing rhythmically, I go to the music of Carl Stalling, and the soundtrack work of Eddie Sauter. (the incredible Mickey One Soundtrack with Stan Getz) but I always hear bebop in his phrasing....
    I have always wondered what Tristano would have done with Brazilian music.

  • @Pianologia
    @Pianologia 11 років тому

    Great lesson Dave! I enjoyed it very much! Interesting aspect for me in Lennie's playing is, that the walking bass line is very steady and with his right hand he seems to shift the time just a fraction ... two different times at the same time..... greetings from Amsterdam :~)Jens(~:

    GeorgeCrumb,Stockhausen 's piano pieces have nothing on Tristano. Descent into the maelstrom visits atonality,athematicism,metric displacement,independent lines over other lines,new approach to glissandos, so much radical ideas i cant even catalogue them all. He knew everything was music just like Cage. This is fabulous by any measurement.

    Wonderful playing, great information, nice camera work, but, sadly, it seems the sound was not recorded properly and is distorted and the microphone was not placed properly. This is not to dis anyone, it's just very unfortunate. Hard to know where in the chain it went wrong. Nevertheless, thanks for this offering. Very generous of you to make this available.

    @mrpossibilities 8 років тому

    I'd be interested to know what you think about the fact that in the recording, we can hear Lennie is clearly slowing down at times. The tempo is not fixed. Clearly, this is not a problem when one is playing solo. That said, I found myself not liking how it sounds, as it just comes off as draggy, as if the performer couldn't keep up with themselves; which is clearly not the case, as Tristano was a virtuoso and we have several instances of him playing in perfect time. My point is: what do you think aesthetically about this? Is this something people should be wary of (or at least very aware of) when practicing this style?
