Francois Theberge Group with Lee Konitz: Soliloque

Lee Konitz has collaborated with an eclectic array of musicians in recent years to make wonderful music. Now 81, the alto saxophonist continues to go his own way when, in the beginning, he could have been another Charlie Parker clone, as his musicianship and bebop developed at about the same time. Ties with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano, Stan Kenton and Miles Davis’ Birth of the Cool Nonet, however,...

REVIEW: Bob Mover - It Amazes Me

Jazz saxophonist Bob Mover has an intriguing resume. A protege of Phil Woods, he was playing professionally at age 16 and subsequently performed alongside many stars, including Charles Mingus, Chet Baker, and one my favorites, alto sax legend Lee Konitz. It was an impressive beginning. Mover also spent some time leading his own group, but over [...]

Bill Evans/Lee Konitz/Warne Marsh... Matthew Shipp... Billy Bang... Cannonball Adderley...

Bill Evans and the Kings of Cool – Konitz and Marsh. 'Speak Low.' This is sparkling, frothy stuff. Evans leads off in rhapsodic mode before Konitz takes the theme and lifts it into steady rhythm. Warne Marsh joins in to weave round the alto in a high-stepping dance. Eddie Gomez springs a line across Evan's chording, firm-fingered, high up the neck. Konitz up next.
