Don Messina
I met Lennie Tristano in 1973, while accompanying a friend to his weekly lessons. I did this about a dozen times over a few months. I was 17, the same year I started to play the double bass and it was after I heard a recording of the Metronome All-Stars featuring Charlie Parker and Lennie that I decided I wanted to be a jazz bassist. Since then I have been a devoted admirer and fan of Lennie’s music and his teaching as well as the beautiful music of Bird, Prez, Billie Holiday, Sal Mosca, Bud Powell, Fats Navarro, Roy Eldridge, Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Pettiford, Jimmy Blanton, Charlie Christian, Art Tatum, Django, Wes Montgomery, Max Roach, and Kenny Clarke. I spent the next 5 years traveling and playing music, ultimately realizing that I needed to study. In September of 1978 I called Lennie to take lessons. He told me he would get back to me; unfortunately, Lennie died weeks later in November, 1978.
