This 2 CD collection includes the complete master takes of the Lennie Tristano Quartet with alto sax legend Lee Konitz at the Confucius Restaurant’s Sing Song Room in New York, on the night of June 11, 1955. The immaculate rhythm section was Gene Ramey, bass, and Art Taylor, drums. This is a much sought-after, long-unavailable recording.
As a bonus, Gambit have added a four-track studio session that was originally issued on LP with the first batch of Confucius material, recorded at Tristano’s home studio, New York, 1954-55, with the great pianist backed by Peter Ind (bass) and Jeff Morton (drums).
