One of the most individual of all altoists (and one of the few in the 1950s who
did not sound like a cousin of Charlie Parker), the cool-toned Lee Konitz has
always had a strong musical curiosity, leading him to consistently take chances
and stretch himself. This session, with Ted Brown, holds some pleasant
surprises. 

Altoist Lee Konitz (who doubles on soprano) teams up with tenor saxophonist Ted
Brown, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Rufus Reid, and drummer Joe Chambers for
this session. The six songs (originals based on standards by Konitz, Brown, and
Lennie Tristano) were all performed in one take and although there are a few
minor mistakes, the music is quite exciting and spontaneous. Brown was the best
possible substitute for Wayne Marsh (Konitzs original choice for the record) and
sounds in prime form. Its worth acquiring by fans of straight-ahead jazz, Lennie
Tristano, and Lee Konitz. (Scott Yanow, AMG)
