Lee Konitz Preview
I was purusing YouTube clips of Lee Konitz for next week's concert at the Ballard Jazz Festival. It is difficult to feel that this drawer of clips is because the career of this 80 year old saxaphonist is so broad and multifaceted Here is one I very much like, a fairly recent reading of Lazy Afternoon.
And here is My Heart Belongs to Daddy with Konitz and Joe Lovano taking on Cole Porter in a big way. Ignore the obnoxious voice over at the front and end of the clip and instead check out where Joe and Lee make some sweet chaos with each other after their solos. I kind of love YouTube, except for the Bob Saget reject videos, even when you need to try to ignore foreign voice overs babbling on about Broadway musica.
