Our Take
Our Take
Lennie Tristano’s The Duo Sessions sees the jazz pianist at his experimental best, collaborating with saxophonist and guitarist in a series of off-kilter compositions that challenge the conventions of the genre.
From the moment the needle drops on the record, Tristano’s intricate piano work is on full display, weaving in and out of complex time signatures with ease. The interplay between him and his collaborators is nothing short of mesmerising, as they bounce off each other’s energy with an almost telepathic connection.
Tracks like “Line Up” showcase Tristano’s virtuosity, with lightning-fast runs and unexpected harmonic shifts keeping the listener on their toes. Meanwhile, “Wow” delves into more contemplative territory, with a haunting melody that lingers long after the last note fades.
The real magic of The Duo Sessions lies in its ability to transport the listener to another time and place, where the boundaries between time signatures blur and traditional jazz structures are abandoned in favour of something altogether more adventurous.
In short, Lennie Tristano’s The Duo Sessions is a masterclass in avant-garde jazz, pushing the boundaries of the genre while still retaining a sense of playfulness and spontaneity. It’s a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and experience something truly unique.

About the artist
Lennie Tristano
Lennie Tristano: The Jazz Maverick You've Never Heard Of In the jazz music pantheon, there are legends whose names ring out like celestial bells: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald. And then there's Lennie Tristano, the enigmatic pianist and composer who never quite achieved the same level of mainstream recognition as his peers. But make no mistake, Tristano's influence on the genre is as vast and complex as his intricate piano compositions. Born in Chicago in 1919, Tristano's musical talents were apparent from a young age. He dazzled audiences with his virtuosic technique and innovative approach to harmony, earning him a reputation as a true jazz maverick. But Tristano was no ordinary musician – he was also a pioneering educator, whose groundbreaking ideas about music theory and improvisation continue to inspire jazz musicians to this day. Tristano's discography may not boast the same number of chart-topping hits as his contemporaries, but what it lacks in commercial success, it more than makes up for in artistic merit. His albums, such as "Crosscurrents" and "Descent into the Maelstrom," are masterpieces of modern jazz, showcasing Tristano's profound understanding of harmony and melody. So why isn't Lennie Tristano a household name? Perhaps it's because his music defies easy categorisation, blending elements of bebop, cool jazz, and avant-garde experimentation. Or maybe it's because Tristano himself was a notoriously elusive figure, shunning the spotlight in favour of his beloved piano. But whatever the reason, one thing is clear: Lennie Tristano may not be a household name, but his music speaks volumes. So next time you're looking for a jazz fix, don't forget to give this unsung hero of the genre a listen – you won't be disappointed.
