Konitz, Lee

The Quintessence 1947-1961

"At a time when most saxophone players were slipping into Charlie Parkers shadows, Lee Konitz - a man of conviction - kept his distance and slowly, irresistibly, opened up the doors to a new universe of music: it was grand and modern, and Konitz imposed upon it a sound that had smoothness and showed great intelligence in its melody.
