FROM THE VAULT: Ted Sirota’s Rebel Souls play the music of Lennie Tristano. Unreleased live recording from May 25, 2005 @ the Empty Bottle, Chicago IL

I’ve been digging through the hard drives a little bit recently and I’ve decided to share some things that otherwise might not see the light of day.  In the “good ol’ days” I would have tried to put this out on CD, but in the “Great Recession Meets the Bit Torrent Age” I’m just going to share it with you.  This performance is the result of the work of guitarist Dave Miller.  Dave was finishing up at Northern Illinois University at the time and was working on a project about the music of Lennie Tristano and his cohorts – Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz and others. He put a ton of work into this, so he gets all the credit for this performance. Greg Ward & Geof Bradfield had a tough job as well. They had to learn and nail those melodies!  Hyosub Kim and I pretty much just enjoyed the ride (by the way, I miss playing with Hyosub!). Listening back I’m very proud of the playing on this recording.  Also, I think we came up with some nice arrangements of Tristano’s music, which is not easy to do.  I remember having fun coming up with our version of “Turkish Mambo” on my laptop. Well anyway, enjoy the music.
