The record
A rare late-'56 summit of the Tristano school's cool-toned linear thinkers, with Ted Brown and Warne Marsh's twin tenors trading serpentine lines against Art Pepper's warmer alto voice. Ronnie Ball's understated comping keeps the session airy, a quiet gem of Lennie Tristano-adjacent improvisation cut for Vanguard.
