WCCA TV does a gig documenting jazz in Worcester

This weekend WCCA TV cameras were on hand at WPI's Alden Hall capturing a four hour symposium on the legendary Lennie Tristano. Lennie was a jazz pianist and teacher of jazz improvisation, who began his professional career in Chicago in the 1930's, and when he emerged as an original voice in the New Your jazz scene in the 1940's, he was considered a prime representative of "progressive jazz" by many critics and musicians.
The symposium included primary source speakers including his son and students of Lennie's and a presentation by a well noted Jazz historian Eunmi Shim. WCCA will soon feature this event on cable channel 13 and it's website.It will also be linked on the New England Jazz Database site. Stay tuned. Man it's outta sight!
