LEE KONITZ NEW QUARTET

The jazz career of legendary alto player Lee Konitz spans over 60 years. He developed his own style in the 1940s. Around that time two schools of saxophonists arose: that of Charlie Parker and that of Konitz himself. The talented musicians and composers in his New Quartet offer ample space to Konitz’ controlled, mature playing. ‘Konitz, one of the most recorded leaders in jazz, particularly in the last few years, has seldom sounded as strong, comfortable and grounded as he does here’ (Jazz Times).
