Lee Konitz - Round And Round (1988)

personnel :

Lee Konitz - Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone
Adam Nussbaum - Drums
Fred Hersch - Piano
Mike Richmond - Bass

The most unusual aspect to this outing by altoist Lee Konitz is that all nine selections are performed in 3/4 time. "Someday My Prince Will Come" and Sonny Rollins's "Valse Hot" were originally waltzes but "Lover Man," "Bluesette" and particularly "Giant Steps" were never recorded in that time signature before. With the assistance of pianist Fred Hersch, bassist Mike Richmond and drummer Adam Nussbaum, Konitz manages to uplift this session above the level of a potential gimmick and finds unexpected beauty in these standards and originals.~Scott Yanow
