Inside Hi-Fi

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 ...

Lines

Lines (1995) more music like this

by Karayorgis & Pakula

Lines should have been subtitled "A Tribute to Lennie Tristano" because that's what this CD essentially is. Co-leading this March 1995 date, pianist Pandelis Karayorgis and alto saxman Eric Pakula embrace seven of Tristano's compositions (including "April," "Dreams," "Two Not One" and "Baby") along with Warne Marsh's "Background Music," Lee Konitz ...

Rhapsody II

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 ...

Spirits

Spirits (1971) more music like this

by Lee Konitz

Altoist Lee Konitz revisits his roots in pianist Lennie Tristano's music on this enjoyable recording from 1971. Four of the nine songs are duets with pianist Sal Mosca (who always sounded a lot like Tristano) while the five other pieces add bassist Ron Carter and drummer Mousie Alexander to the group. Konitz performs three of his own compositions, ...

School of Tristano

School of Tristano (2007) more music like this

by Eric Rasmussen

Although he was far too young to have studied with Lennie Tristano, alto saxophonist Eric Rasmussen is a firm believer in the late pianist and teacher's approach to jazz, especially playing intricate reworkings of familiar chord changes. Guitarist Nate Radley is equally drenched in Tristano-school arrangements, so together with bassist Dave ...

The Bass in the Background: A Great Selection 1962-1992

The Bass in the Background: A Great Selection 1962-1992 (2005) more music like this

by Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen

The death of bassist Niels Pedersen in 2005 when he was one month shy of his 59th birthday was completely unexpected. One of the great bassists to emerge during the '60s, Pedersen could take lightning-fast solos, keeping up with Oscar Peterson during their romps, and yet was a perfect accompanist. He will perhaps be best remembered for his ...

Palo Alto: 1949-1960

Palo Alto: 1949-1960 (1998) more music like this

by Lee Konitz

Here is another curious Giants of Jazz collection, spanning time that alto saxophonist Lee Konitz spent playing with Lennie Tristano, Jim Hall, Bill Evans, and Warne Marsh, among others. Presumably these dates might be in relative chronological order, but there's no attribution. The Tristano cuts are obvious, and there are several standards, a ...
