Now, when I decided to take this class in the Lenny Tristano School of Jazz, I studied Billie Holiday, but also an assignment was not just Billie, but Billie singing with Lester Young.
I have a memory of being led onto the elevator later that night—or maybe it was early the next morning—by Peter Higgins (Old Cue-Ball's son) , Butch Michaud, Lenny Partridge, and John Chizmar.
