Copenhagen, NY, Berlin

NTSC/Region 0. Lennie Tristano (1919-1978) was widely recognized as a prime influence on modern Jazz. Blind since infancy, he developed a very personal piano style which introduced new voicing's to Jazz and combined Classical and Jazz music structures. This DVD compiles all of his known filmed appearances for the first time ever on a single release. Our DVD begins with Tristano's superb solo performance in Copenhagen. This is followed by an extremely rare TV show, appearing here for the first time ever on DVD. It was filmed at the Half Note Club in New York and captures the atmosphere of Tristano's regular quintet with Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh playing live. Finally, this DVD closes with two tracks featuring Tristano at the celebrated Berlin Jazz Piano Workshop on October 30, 1965, which reunited some of the best Jazz pianists ever on the same stand (as can be seen on the first of these tracks entitled "Blues").
