@gthomson They had some spiritual thing going on. #LennieTristano was linked with #WilliamReich. The latter was stark staring mad and should’ve been incarcerated in my opinion. #Tristano did’t play like he did because of #orgones. The late Ind suggests getting on board. My view: get taught by Lennie: then let go = #LeeKonitz.

It's a portrait of Wilhelm Reich, disciple of Sigmund Freud, most famous for his shall-we-say dubious research into hypothetical orgone energy! I actually keep a little orgone pyramid on my desk out of respect for the brilliant, troubled figure of Reich — and *you never know* — I could be benefitting from the accumulated orgones!
