LEE KONITZ QUARTET
Lee Konitz alto saxophone, Dan Tepfer piano, Jeremy Stratton double bass, George Schuller drums
The jazz career of legendary alto player Lee Konitz spans over 60 years. He gained a following in the 1940s, shone on Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis and kept developing his own style. His controlled and mature playing is showcased exceptionally well in his current quartet. ‘Konitz, one of the most recorded leaders in jazz, particularly in the last few years, has seldom sounded as strong, comfortable and grounded’ (Jazz Times).
The Bimhuis restaurant
is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via
020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free
entrance).
