I have never picked up Lennie Tristano. I had only a couple of LPs of his. I had a lot of Bill Evans, Red garland, Wynton Kelly, Oscar Peterson and such. But never was fond of listening to Lennie. For one thing, his piano play sounded me not American. I mean, his sound is rather modest. It was not like Peterson. Well for that matter, Wyton Kelly did sound modest as well but he swings a lot.
Now I notice that there are many of his recording on You Tube. And along with him, I have noticed a guy named Dave Frank. I didn't know him but boy! he is nice. It sure indicates America is where the jazz has originated.
This webpage gives you splendid guides on Dave. Well, this is for my reference, tell you the truth.
