1	Lee Konitz with Warne Marsh (1955) more music like this by Lee Konitz with Warne Marsh Mislabeled cool jazz and judged as too academic sounding and even soulless by some critics and musicians, the post bebop work of Lennie Tristano students like Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Sal Mosca, and guitarist Billy Bauer brought a mellifluous and oblique introspection to jazz. This is not to say, though, that their music didn't in some ways adhere ... see all copies from $7.24! new only from $7.24!
2	Motion (2003) more music like this by Lee Konitz This very spontaneous LP (altoist Lee Konitz had never played before in a trio with bassist Sonny Dallas and drummer Elvin Jones) is quite successful and enjoyable. Konitz and his trio perform five familiar standards, stretching out on such tunes as "I Remember You," "All of Me" and "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To." The music is searching but ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
3	Conception (1951) more music like this by Miles Davis With Stan Getz and Lee Konitz A unique all-star set recorded in various combinations between 1949 and 1951, Conception is an underappreciated masterpiece of cerebral cool jazz. Although Miles Davis gets top billing, he appears on only half the album and then most often as a sideman with only occasional solos. Saxophonists Lee Konitz, Stan Getz, and Gerry Mulligan are the true ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.44!
4	Subconscious-Lee [Original] (1949) more music like this by Lee Konitz The 1949 Prestige recordings contained on this album are some of the greatest jazz performances ever, period. One happy fact of this genre that sometimes makes record collecting seem like a neat hobby is that some records are gatherings of many important players from particular scenes. In this case, that means not only is there wonderful playing ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $10.35!
5	Konitz Meets Mulligan (1953) more music like this by Lee Konitz with Gerry Mulligan W/ Gerry Mulligan Quartet. A simply wonderful pairing of idiosyncratic talents. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
6	Figure and Spirit (1976) more music like this by Lee Konitz Altoist Lee Konitz (who doubles on this CD on soprano) teams up with tenor-saxophonist Ted Brown, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Joe Chambers for this session. The six songs (originals based on standards by Konitz, Brown and Lennie Tristano) were all performed in one take and although there are a few minor mistakes, the ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
7	The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook (1998) more music like this by Various Artists One of the giants of American popular song gets his due with this three-disc Verve box, comprising a trio of separately released compilations. Though Mercer's repertoire of classic songs doesn't quite make for three discs, Verve ably solves the problem by pairing a vocal track and an instrumental version on separate discs, such as "Too Marvelous ... see all copies from $32.61! new only from $32.61!
8	The Prestige Records Story (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Like most of the now-prized jazz labels, Prestige Records sprang from the vision of one man - a 20-year-old kid, actually - named Bob Weinstock, who guided the label from its infancy in 1949 until 1971 when he sold out to Fantasy. Although Prestige continued to record for awhile after 1971, Fantasy chose to survey only the Weinstock years in this ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!
9	Peacemeal (1969) more music like this by Lee Konitz This Lee Konitz recording is of even greater interest than usual. Altoist Konitz, in a quintet with valve trombonist Marshall Brown, pianist Dick Katz, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette, performs jazz adaptations of three Bela Bartok piano compositions, a trio of Dick Katz originals, two of his own pieces (including "Subconscious-Lee ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $13.03!
10	Chicago 'N All That Jazz (1975) more music like this by Lee Konitz This CD is better than it initially appears. Altoist Lee Konitz and his augmented nonet perform eight numbers from the musical Chicago, all songs that have been long forgotten ever since. However Konitz (switching between alto and soprano) and his sidemen (who include trumpeter Richard Hurwitz, Dick Katz and Michael Longo on keyboards and bassist ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.06!
11 view cover	Inside Hi-Fi (1956) more music like this by Lee Konitz This excellent recording (part of their 1987 Jazzlore series) features altoist Lee Konitz with two separate quartets during 1956. Either guitarist Billy Bauer or pianist Sal Mosca are the main supporting voices in groups also including either Arnold Fishkind or Peter Ind on bass and Dick Scott on drums. The most unusual aspect to the set is that ... see all copies from $8.56! new only from $8.56!
12 view cover	Jazz Nocturne (1992) more music like this by Lee Konitz Quartet Although never a poll winner, altoist Lee Konitz has had a more productive and consistently stimulating career than most of his contemporaries, never afraid to improvise fairly freely in his relaxed style. For this Evidence CD, Konitz digs into seven standards with an impressive rhythm section (pianist Kenny Barron, bassist James Genus and drummer ... see all copies from $8.60! new only from $10.76!
13 view cover	Tenorlee (1977) more music like this by Lee Konitz This CD reissue (which adds new versions of "The Gypsy" and "'Tis Autumn" to the original nine-song program) is a bit unusual in that altoist Lee Konitz exclusively plays tenor. Featured in an intimate trio with pianist Jimmy Rowles and bassist Michael Moore, Konitz explores ten superior standards from the swing era plus a brief unaccompanied ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.14!
14 view cover	The Lee Konitz Duets (1967) more music like this by Lee Konitz This CD brings back one of altoist Lee Konitz's greatest sessions. In 1967 he recorded a series of very diverse duets, all of which succeed on their own terms. Konitz is matched with valve trombonist Marshall Brown on a delightful version of "Struttin' With Some Barbecue" and matches wits with the tenor of Joe Henderson on "You Don't Know What ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
15 view cover	Alone Together (1996) more music like this by Lee Konitz/Brad Mehldau/Charlie Haden Alone Together, Lee Konitz's first recording for Blue Note, is a special event. The saxophonist teamed up with legendary bassist Charlie Haden and young lion pianist Brad Mehldau, and the trio's interaction on this set of relaxed bop is astonishing. On paper, the music on Alone Together -- a collection of standards -- should just be straightahead ... see all copies from $6.35! new only from $10.79!
16 view cover	More Live-Lee (2004) more music like this by Lee Konitz/Alan Broadbent On More Live-Lee, saxophonist Lee Konitz is joined for an intriguingly spare set with pianist Alan Broadbent. This atypical setting allows for subtle interplay and the type of quiet nuances impossible in larger settings. The duo allow "Body and Soul" to drift at a lazy pace as Konitz's horn weaves slow, lovely lines and Broadbent adds tasteful, ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
17 view cover	Live-Lee (2003) more music like this by Lee Konitz/Alan Broadbent This intimate live program pairs two Lennie Tristano disciples: Lee Konitz, in his eighth decade and at the height of his powers, and the distinctive, calmly extraordinary pianist Alan Broadbent. The clarity and expressiveness of these performances from the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles make it difficult to accept this was the duo's first time ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
18 view cover	Rhapsody II (1993) more music like this by Lee Konitz This follow-up to Rhapsody is another eclectic mix, with 19 tracks featuring the veteran alto saxophonist in various small group settings. Baritone sax great Gerry Mulligan and the leader flesh out an inspired duet of "Lover Man" and pianist Peggy Stern joins them for the spacy, extemporaneous "Trio #2." The brilliant flugelhornist Clark Terry is ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.03!
19 view cover	Unleemited (2003) more music like this by Lee Konitz/Kenny Werner In another of its many quixotic duo projects that thrive in Europe but are deemed unmarketable in the birth country of jazz, Owl paired Lee Konitz, still blowing strong and sweet at age 64, and pianist Kenny Werner in a program of music by composer Alain Guyonnet. The name Guyonnet may mean next to nothing in America, but for our purposes here, he ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
20 view cover	I Concentrate on You (1974) more music like this by Lee Konitz Lee Konitz has been a constant explorer throughout most of his career, never satisfied with a standard approach or falling into a rut with a particular instrumentation. This 1974 duo session with bassist Red Mitchell, which focuses exclusively on the works of Cole Porter, is one great example. With an inventive accompanist like Mitchell spurring ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $17.03!
21 view cover	Toot Sweet (1982) more music like this by Lee Konitz/Michel Petrucciani This 1982 meeting between the veteran alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and the young pianist (19 at the time of the session) Michel Petrucciani is a success on all counts. Konitz's fragile alto is complemented by Petrucciani's lush backing in "I Hear a Rhapsody," while their abstract approach to "'Round Midnight" and "Lover Man" are both very ... see all copies from $8.15! new only from $9.59!
22 view cover	A Proper Introduction to Lee Konitz: Palo Alto (2004) more music like this by Lee Konitz see all copies from $3.98! new only from $4.93!
23 view cover	Angel Song (1996) more music like this by Kenny Wheeler/Lee Konitz/Dave Holland/Bill Frisel see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!
24 view cover	Parallels (2001) more music like this by Lee Konitz The veteran alto saxman isn't doing gospel music anymore, but the staff at Chesky set Konitz and the other members of his quartet up in the perfect acoustic environment of St. Peter's Church in the Chelsea area of New York City. Sonics aside, this is a solid, though fairly laid-back date which displays the formidable ensemble and solo talents of ... see all copies from $6.35! new only from $17.17!
25 view cover	Windows (1975) more music like this by Lee Konitz Pairing alto saxophonist Lee Konitz with pianist Hal Galper makes for plenty of inspired moments in this 1975 studio date. Starting with an inventive reshaping of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," which transforms this swing era favorite into a driving bop vehicle, both Konitz and Galper intensely listen to one another and react intuitively to ... see all copies from $16.45! new only from $16.45!
