I have always liked this tune in F minor. Lennie became disillusioned with the commercialization of Jazz. He was way ahead of his time and never appreciated. I knew a couple of his students in Brooklyn. They were very good too. I am a fan of his concepts in music.

@jrv1a2 It seems not even possible to copy him stroke by stroke, as some attempts here on youtube show. Light years away. It is easier to copy Oscar Peterson.

I love this guy's music and I can't believe audiences and critics at the time couldn't handle it. Art Tatum also left a lot of people scratching their heads.
Lennie was mmost certainly known among musicians nationally. His contributions were phenomenal but he never seemed to receive credit. Lenni experimented with Free Jazz 10 years befor Ornette coleman invented it.WhenLennie played "cool" they called it cold. When Miles played cool they called it The Birth of the Cool. Even Miles admitted Lennies influence. Lennie never seemed to make it with the Critics who,until this day stillrefuse to recognize his genius.

Lennie could be difficult but was always sensitive and he produced many competent students who achieved genius status themselves.
