Lee Konitz & Warne Marsh - Two Not One (Remastered) (2017) [DSD128/Hi-Res]

Warne Marsh & Lee Konitz „Two Not One“ December 1975 was a busy month for Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz. It was Warne Marsh’s first visit to Europe. They played December 3,4 & 5 at the Montmartre in Copenhagen and came back the 27th and played yet another concert at the Montmartre. They were at Rosenberg studio December 28 and 29 for further recordings. All dates were recorded and the result can be heard on this remastered album-set. It is amazing music from the two Lennie Tristano "pupils".

The cumulative impression of this reissue of alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh recording made in Copenhagen in the 1975 is one of exceptional creativity. Both men were masters of the art of never repeating themselves and a set of this scope really brings the point home. Clearly, Konitz & Marsh had by this stage of their respective careers taken their interest in music to a point which for the time at least was scarce amongst jazz musicians.

It is amazing music from the two Lennie Tristano pupils.

“Whenever tenor-saxophonist Warne Marsh and altoist Lee Konitz got together, fireworks resulted as the two complementary saxophonists always seemed to bring out the best in each other.” Allmusic
