Tutti come ebeti appresso a Jimi Hendrix....tutti come dementi appresso ad Eddie van Halen...tutti come stolti da competizione appresso ai c.d. hero della chitarra. Invece, il genio ha una sola Patria: l'Italia !
(from France Jazz lover from many years) Zoot was really inspired and swings in a very inspired and warm way (everyone in the orchestra realizes that this is a pure moment of genious of Zoot)..
Lee Konitz was the last giant who was there at the beginning shaping the future. Aside from Bird I struggle to dig other alto players. I met Lee several times. Humble, humorous. Last saw he with Kenny Wheeler and Frank Wunsch.
Lee loved to sing. Legend. He’s flirting with Prez’ famous solo on this song which Lee recorded with Warne Marsh as *Blues By Lester* , Jazz Exchange Tour of Europe, 1975-76.👌
