Lee Konitz @ Festival Banlieues Bleues

“We’re going to play the standards like you’ve never heard them, I hope“ (Lee Konitz). Lee Konitz begins alone, a little hesitant. At his age, 87, he needs to warm up. Then the rhythm plays on velvet. She advances at the pace of a Persian cat. A real caress for the soul. Very fine work of the beater with the brooms. Dan plays just the right notes. The double bass hums in the center of the stage. The Konitz method: very quickly, he escapes from the melody taking us into the ocean of his thoughts... Find jazz legend Lee Konitz, during a concert recorded during the Banlieues Bleues festival. He is accompanied by Georges Schuller on drums, and Jeremy Stratton on double bass.
