#JimmyHalperin. I think principally #SalMosca’s pupil and associate (perhaps briefly under Lennie Tristano?, certainly with Warne Marsh). Some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard has been Halperin’s. Underexposed.

#JimmyHalperin has been one of the most beautiful tenor saxophonists since his maturation after the death of teacher #LennieTristano. His work #Psalm with (also teacher mentor pianist) #SalMosca should be spoken with in the reverential terms usually reserved for Bach. His work with the sympathetic #PålNybergTrio is exquisite. This is a cracking album.

Finally (and there was much rejoicing!). #SalMosca. The faithful student who arguably finished by surpassing his mentor and friend #Tristano. In 1949/50 on early #LeeKonitz records inc. Subconscious-Lee and Hi-Beck, it is almost impossible to distinguish Sal from Tristano. But Sal found his own unique voice. Like Tristano, Sal became a total recluse early on, sacrificing an assured playing career, teaching instead a small coterie of advanced students such as the outstanding #JimmyHalperin. #Jazz

#WarneMarsh looking rather imperious. Quite an intimidating presence. Known as much for his seminal work with #LeeKonitz. Warne was the most devoted disciple of #LennieTristano’s teachings. Few of his students, no matter how advanced, were willing to commit so completely to LT’s ultimately restricted but highly developed conception of #improvisation. Warne, with the possible exception of #SalMosca, represents the logical terminus of LT’s #jazz #pedagogy
