Lee Konitz: Next Steps
Apple Music


This saxophonist is part of the cool jazz story, thanks to the lyricism of his tone and his way with a ballad. But don't let those attributes fool you into thinking he doesn't have an edge; Konitz's elegant timbres can also be deployed in solos that have bite. Hear this creative force playing with midcentury greats like Gerry Mulligan as well as contemporary talents like Brad Mehldau.
