At a time when most saxophone players were slipping into Charlie Parker’s 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.
