I'd like to read the actual quote from Lennie Tristano. I searched for Tristano Downbeat interviews but didn't come up with anything.
*eyeroll* Grant Green is where it’s at. He has a later period where he’s playing a bit more of a funk thing (which is also awesome) but any of his earlier stuff fits the bill. And check out...
Those old recordings are analog recordings, any difference in recording and playback spinning rate will introduce detune. Try tuning your instrument to the recording not to the tuner. In the 80-90,...
Terrible story, but one worth telling to get the balance of reality for prospective buyers! It is just a shame that you had to go through the process to find out.

The pitch can get altered during the film or video processing, especially in the case of older films like the one in the link you posted, those are practically guaranteed to be off. This is usually...
I see that you are correct, the copyright is still in effect unless the author has been deceased for at least 70 years, I hadn't given it much thought.
How about Free Jazz Guitar Lessons ... you'll find all the answers you are looking for in these lessons.... should keep you busy for months if not years...
