Spontooneous Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hey! You stop trying to trash Lennie's reputation! (BTW, Just got home with a Sal Mosca CD, found in the $1.99 discount pile at a chain store...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Both 'Uptown Girl' and 'Scenes From An Italian Restaurant' are direct rip-offs of Tristano compositions. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Merci, Bertrand! Never would have imagined! Did Joel use any of Tristano's associates (Konitz? Marsh?) on his recordings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 His classical disc is really something. . . the pianist is extraordinary (not Joel) and the sound is phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Yes, it's true. Tristano was Billy Joel's driving instructor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Never would have imagined! Did Joel use any of Tristano's associates (Konitz? Marsh?) on his recordings? He did use Phil Woods who studied with Tristano at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Apparently lots of people of people studied w/Tristano at one point or another, for whatever reason, Bud Freeman being one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
