Then again - no disrespect to any ornithologists here,
among whom I number myself - but Bird wasn't the only
game in town at the time. His school won (obviously)
but the road not taken was equally valid, and had it
been, Jazz would be a lot different today. Here's a
re-post of something I posted on FarceBook back in May,
2015:

Schooltime again...this time, Lennie Tristano. (Who? Yeah, I know....) Tristano was working in an entirely different direction from Diz and Bird, who ruled the roost at the time. (In this case, 1952.) Tristano often eschewed traditional song forms used in bebop (AABA, ABAB, etc.) and was actually further into harmonic extensions than Bird or Diz at the time. In this album, you will hear the genesis of Les Paul's multitracked three and four part harmonies, done at considerable speed - but these cats did it LIVE. You'll also hear precursors to the Desmond and Art Pepper cool school sax style - these two cats (Warne Marsh, tenor, and Lee Konitz, alto) are layin' down some *scorching* lines, splitting 4-part harmony with Tristano playing two of the parts on the piano, rather than the unison lines favored by the bebop crew. This music was so advanced, it sounds like it could have been recorded last year. Again, this is a SINGLE PASS LIVE RECORDING - no gimmicks, just superb musicianship. Note that blues, which formed most of the meat of the bebop school, is only used as seasoning in this music. Had Tristano been as widely known as Bird, Jazz would look completely different today.

No. It doesn't.

Yes. It does. They were two cats coming from
totally different directions who had vast
respect for each other. As far as the two
articles go, astute readers will note that
I *wrote* mine, while you *pasted* yours.

Why do you want to be such a fucking schmuck,

Fuck you and your ignorant musings on jazz and everything else for that

Your only motivation for trying to prop Tristano's contribution above
Bird's has to be your well known rabid racist views.

"His school won.", meaning Bird's, you said.
Bird's was the ONLY school and Tristano was a student.

Fuck you and your ignorant musings on jazz and everything else for that
matter.
Your only motivation for trying to prop Tristano's contribution above
Bird's has to be your well known rabid racist views.
"His school won.", meaning Bird's, you said.
Bird's was the ONLY school and Tristano was a student.
Jeez.

Ah, I see. Well, no sense arguing with a fool like
you, I reckon. I don't see how you can interpret
anything I wrote as "prop(ping) Tristano's contribution
above Bird's" - what I said was that if Tristano's
approach had prevailed (it didn't) then Jazz would
be very different today. What that has to do with
race is beyond me - YOU brought it up, not I.
You're a fucking creepy little bitch, y'know that?
Here - have the last word. I know you'll shit your
fucking self if you don't...

Great.
Here's my last word.
Go fuck yourself pig.

You must have an incredibly miserable, pathetic life. Do you sit
around watching CNN and MSNBC all day, slurping up all their lies
and hatred? Are you seething with anger 24/7? Do you feel the need
to go riot, loot, and burn down shit that decent Americans have
spent their lives building?

Your a pitiful schmuck, and everyone here knows it. Quit hating
others, and stick to hating yourself.
