Lee Konitz Nonet
CD (Item 481077) Chiaroscuro, 1977 — Condition: New Copy
A really compelling large group project from Lee Konitz – quite rare at this point in his career, and a beautiful demonstration of his many talents! Many of the numbers here are older jazz classics, but reworked by Konitz in fresh new arrangements – handled with a solid swing, yet some echoes of modern styles as well – and played by a lineup that includes Lee on alto, Ronnie Cuber on baritone, Burt Collins on trumpet, Jimmy Knepper on trombone, Ben Aranov on piano, Knobby Totah on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums. This mix of players from different generations really helps flesh out the feel of the set – with results that are almost like some of the Phil Woods projects of this nature. Titles include "Fourth Dimension", "Chi Chi", "Giant Steps", "April/April Too", "Who You", and "Struttin With Some Barbecue". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
