Lee Konitz

"Considered one of the driving forces of jazz, American jazz composer and alto saxophonist Lee Konitz is able to erase context and preconceptions, and more or less blow your mind." -- New York TimesCover Sticker: "Sparkling ... tantalizing" (New York Times) / "A celebration of cultural diversity and thematic exploration" (Washington Post). Lee Konitz maintains that this uncompromising, completely personal recording is a high point in his long career, and was thrilled about the great "welcome home" the New York press and the enthusiastic audience gave him. This recording features longtime Konitz collaborators Minsarah.
