by Ian Patterson
Though the collaboration between Irish guitarist Tommy Halferty and English singer Norma Winstone goes back twenty five years, this, surprisingly, is the duo's debut recording.

Lennie Tristano and Lee Konitz: Proto-Cool (1946 - 1955)
by Russell Perry
Pianist Lennie Tristano was a very visible participant in the modern jazz innovations of the mid-1940s through the early 1950s, winning polls and participating in all-star jam sessions.
