Two Lee Konitz with Jimmy Giuffre collaborations, both 1959 sessions, are united here on one CD. On “Lee Konitz Meets Jimmy Giuffre”, Jimmy contributed as soloist and arranger of a five-piece saxophone section.
The thoughtful, contrapuntal writing creates a delicate mood, where everybody gets a chance to blow, and the engaging work of Konitz, Bill Evans, and Warne Marsh provides extremely rewarding moments.
On “You and Lee”, Jimmy employed only a brass section and rhythm to back the altoist. He chose to keep the brass tightly muted, working always as a section, with no individual solos. In all, these sessions are a skilful, fascinating mixture of tonal beauty and emotional improvising.
Personnel : Ernie Royal, Irving “Marky” Markowitz, Phil Sunkel (tp), Bob Brookmeyer (vtb), Eddie Bert, Billy Byers (tb), Lee Konitz, Hal McKusick (as), Warne Marsh, Ted Brown (ts), Jimmy Giuffre (bars), Jim Hall (p), Bill Evans (p), Buddy Clark, Sonny Dallas (b), Ronnie Free, Roy Haynes (d) - Recorded New York City, 1959 |
