Bleeding Gums Murphy (on the bridge) "Lisa, get away from that jazz man!'http://youtu.be/Uj88BVrF3mc

I think that Lisa Simpson is one of the unsung heroes of baritone sax. They should publish as set of her breaks that introduce the programme.

Amsterdam's Bimhuis has a channel where I found this:

And here is an old NRK docu on Warne Marsh in Norway - absolutely fascinating:

The Wayne Marsh documentary is brilliant.

I think that the Tristano school really had harmony and improvisation truly sorted out. It is really compelling. Listening to his lesson with the students, it is intriguing to hear what is being taught as I think this would be quite different these days. Are students really just studying minor and major scales these days?

By coincidence I was only yesterday listening to one of my cassettes - a performance by Lee Konitz from the 202 London Jazz Festival. For this LK had chosen a shifting personnel appropriate to his connections with his own past: a trio to perform some standards alongside bassist Peter Ind, an associate from the Tristano years of the 1950s, and Billy Bauer-styled guitarist Dave Cliff, and then a quartet of drummer Paul Clarvis, Paul's partner and violinist Sonia Slany, and John Taylor on piano, playing more idiosyncratic compositions by Konitz and Taylor, and one entirely free improvisation. I wish I had been there in the QEH for this performance, which concluded with just Konitz and JT playing a version of "'Round Midnight" as an encore that has become my favourite version - a miracle of on-the-spot sensitivity and co-inspiration.

It would be interesting to see how many of today's students could sing a harmonic minor scale from memory. That was a telling moment in the doc. It reminded me of an interview, years ago, with Curtis Fuller who said something along the lines of this: that many students could rip through Giant Steps, but were at a loss when asked to play a blues in F.

Ah but could they play an F in blues?

Wondered if you had heard the new album by Wynton Marsalis and LCJO with Wayne Shorter? This is getting some very good reviews.

I've known the live A Love Supreme since my teens, and I still return to it quite regularly. Pity the whole thing wasn't videoed.

This is also well worth acquiring:

I imagine the backdrop contributed significantly to the acoustics in that cloakroom!

Great to have your contributions from the free end of European jazz, Mark.
