Tracks list
Reissue with the latest remastering. Comes with liner notes. Lee Konitz has had many opportunities to record with European artists over the decades, but this session is a bit unusual, in that all the compositions are by bassist Giovanni Tommaso and Konitz doesnt stick strictly to alto saxophone. Joining them are pianist Franco DAndrea (with whom Konitz worked on a number of Philology CDs decades later), trumpeter Enrico Rava and drummer Gegé Munari. Tommasos charts delve into bop and cool, with Konitz primarily playing the Varitone (a form of electronic saxophone that was experimented with briefly and abandoned by reed players in the late 60s), though he does play some alto sax and also makes a rare appearance on flute (doubling on it in Take Seven). While the music from this 1968 session is enjoyable, even though the sound quality of the Varitone pales when compared to a regular saxophone, this remains one of Lee Konitzs more obscure recordings from the 60s, even if this European LP was finally reissued on CD (again, only in Europe) three decades later. Tracks: 1. A Minor Blues 2. Five, Four And Three 3. Komonia 4. Midnight Mood 5. Terre Lontane 6. Take Seven 7. Giovanni DOggi 8. Tune Down Personnel: Lee Konitz - alto sax, varitone, flute Enrico Rava - trumpet Franco DAndrea - piano Giovanni Tommaso - bass Gege Munari - drums
