Lee Konitz Dead

[humprof]

Not like 92 isn't a good long run. But he'd have kept on going--and touring--for who knows how much longer if it hadn't been for this damn plague.

R.I.P. Lee ...... Your music is ageless

Love this quote: “A good solo doesn’t care who plays it,” he once said.

The man's discography stretches to over 700 albums as a leader and sideman. Unfortunately, in the early & mid-70s and the early aughts, he was recording mainly for small labels (and occasionally for a larger label that never really got into quad or 5.1). He plays on one track, "Someone Took the Words Away," on Elvis Costello's North. But this obscure disc is the only multichannel release I can find under his own name:

Edit: but keep reading below. @Clement found a better one on Chesky!

I'm with you my friend. Is there a full moon out tonight or something.
Maybe I should go out and howl...
