Sensational group interplay. I think this should be compulsory viewing to young sax players to demonstrate it’s not all about showing how good you are at fast runs and screeching altissimo, it’s about finding your own unique way and sound, and boy did Lee do that.

Quand on aime Bill depuis 60 ans, quand on est parisien, mais je n'étais pas à Paris pour ce concert, quel grand grand souvenir, émotion et joie de regarder ce concert. Avec ses merveilleux compagnons aussi ! ` `

NHØP was 19 when this was recorded. Few ever come close to attaining this level in their entire lifetime. He was a true gift to jazz.

NHOP and Alan Dawson. What a great rhythm section. Lee floats on their beautiful magic carpet.

Bill was in the middle of his drug struggles when this was recorded but his playing is magnificent. Lee sounds great when playing with Bill.🙏💞😎

Alan Dawson was an amazing drummer and great educator as well. I have many friends & associates who were lucky enough to have studied with him.

Nice to hear an "earler" Konitz. Somehow I missed Bill Evans. Pederson and Dawsen were swinging fine.

This is absolutely some AAA prime cut Lee! NHOP and Dawson swinging like hell! Peace reigns on the earth.

For saxophonists (who might appreciate such things), this video has some extended closeups of Konitz's interesting embouchure. Most important, of course, it's a fun celebration of the cool jazz combo performed by some of the masters of that genre. Thank you sooooo much for posting this!

@hellbooks3024 4 ай бұрын

It’s a similar embouchure to the one taught by Phil Sobel.

I love LK. Have most of his records. Bill Evans sat in for Lennie Tristano once at the Half Note (LK, Warne Marsh, Jimmy Garrison, Paul Motian). Evans tended to ‘lay out’ when Lee soloed.

@Da_Publick 8 ай бұрын

Maybe Konitz didn't like Evans's comping?

@RalphBrooker-gn9iv 8 ай бұрын

I read that Bill was uncomfortable with Lee’s playing at that time. And in the album I think it’s fair to say that Lee was going through a process of change. He’d surprised many my recording with Elvin Jones and Jimmy Garrison. No piano. Classic album, Motion. And Lee had found a a kind inner force working with the Kenton orchestra where reeds struggled to be heard.

@Da_Publick 8 ай бұрын

@@RalphBrooker-gn9ivThat's interesting. I'm so used to it being the other way around, where a soloist doesn't like the way a pianist 'feeds' them. And 'Motion' really is a masterpiece. He even quotes Bird at one point, having fun!

@RalphBrooker-gn9iv 8 ай бұрын

@@Da_Publick Yes it is often the other way round. Stan Getz was very strict as I understand. I quite like Miles’ way of working with his young protégés. Warne Marsh’s *Ne Plus Ultra* is an excellent album. No piano. To horns: alto (Gary Foster) and tenor. I play a little piano, used to play alto and tenor. Developed embouchure/dental problems.

I agree, this concert could have benefitted greatly by the addition of Warne.@@RalphBrooker-gn9iv

Peu de temps avant ce concert que j'ai manqué, une partie du public parisien avait sifflé, hué, Jimmy Giuffre. J.G. avait conclu sa prestation en disant : Je regrette votre pauvre capacité d'écouter ! (poor hearing or something similar, as your !) ! Listen to Lee, especially at this is incredibly marvellous "Too marvelous for words" ! pour reprendre le nom d'un morceau joué avec Gerry Mulligan au Haig !

@@jackwilloughby239 so, beside the simple fact that maybe other (me, and Lee at least and Pedersen, for instance) can hear the changes do you really think that music is to play changes and that listening is to hear the changes?
