Amazingly, Tristano, who "wrote the book", never wrot a book! He felt that
there was no one method for all and that it was an individual trip.

We can talk about it, but ideally, it's great to study with domeone who is
genuinely influenced by Lennie's scene...

Thanks for writing.

Keep in touch...

Best wishes for a happy life in a peaceful world.
Sincerely,
Richard Tabnik, Jazz Alto Saxophonist
