Live At The Café Bohemia

Lennie Tristano

A rarely heard jam session presented here for the first time ever on CD. Recorded live at the New York famous Café Bohemia. The performance showcases modern jazz piano genius Lennie Tristano playing with an all star group including trombonist Bill Harris and tenor saxophonist Flip Phillips.

As a bonus, the complete soundtrack from TV broadcast featuring Tristano with Warne Marsh and Lee Knoitz appearing also for the first time ever on CD.

Tristano shines on both sets his extended solos and his risky accompaniment behind the two horns.
