Jazz of Two Cities

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily steeped in the fiercely intellectual, highly complex methodology of Lennie Tristano, the exceptionally fluid tenor saxophonist leads an incredibly tight, conceptually ambitious session. The intricately woven, constantly shifting contrapuntal horn arrangements demand profound technical mastery and deep, almost telepathic ensemble interplay. The remarkably cerebral, highly swinging record stands as an absolute high-water mark of the advanced, bicoastal cool jazz movement.
