paid well. He was deemed progressive in the financially precarious big band realm (compare Woody Herman). His orchestral sound was so powerful, with brass sections rising up in unison, like a battleship’s 15” guns (deliberate theatrics) threatening to blast the concert hall windows out. Somehow he attracted to the 1st alto chair. was outraged. Lee always claimed he gained a stronger alto saxophone sound at Kenton. 🎷

said to Paul (who adored Lennie’s percussive piano playing & also played with & when sat in for the ever elusive ) "Your 4s sound like a drunk falling down the stairs".

Interesting that an appreciation of et al’s music underwent a total renaissance during the 1990+s by players & writers.

Finally (and there was much rejoicing!). . The faithful student who arguably finished by surpassing his mentor and friend . In 1949/50 on early 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 .
