Album Notes & Community Reviews
Showcasing the alto saxophonist's deliberate departure from the omnipresent Charlie Parker style, 'Konitz' highlights his highly original, Tristano-influenced approach to improvisation. His dry tone and incredibly long, winding melodic lines provide a deeply intellectual take on standard bebop structures. The album is a testament to his status as one of the most distinctive and analytical voices in the cool jazz movement.
