Lennie Tristano/Lennie Tristano (1955)

One of major recordings of Lennie Tristano, a Chicago-born, blind white jazz pianist, who performed in the cool jazz, bebop, post bop and avant-garde jazz, and known for his unique, contrapuntal and harmonical music theory (Atlantic Records, 1955). The first four tracks are famous for its innovative experiments of overdubbing and picking up the tape-speed. Especially "Line Up" and "Turkish Mambo" are deep and tensive. The last five tracks are live recordings featuring his disciple Lee Konitz (alt sax) and more relaxed.
