Review

The Chesky label, known for its audiophile recordings whereby spontaneous music is captured faithfully by high-resolution technology, seems perfectly suited to altoist Lee Konitz. Having mastered an effortlessly smooth alto sound over the past four decades, Konitz can be counted on to deliver flawless performances of tunes played countless times, altered subtly to fit the mood of the date. On this occasion, supported by the longtime Phil Woods rhythm team of drummer (and coproducer) Bill Goodwin and bassist Steve Gilmore, the mood is decidedly relaxed. Tunes such as Lennie Tristano's "317 East 32nd" and Konitz's own pun-laden titles such as "Palo Alto" and "Subconscious Lee" are taken at slow- to mid-tempo, and though they lack fire and risk-taking, they nonetheless exude the comfortable assuredness of music played among friends. Young tenorist Mark Turner, who has developed a remarkably close likeness to Konitz's sound, brings some punch and pizzazz to the session; he's an inspired addition to the recording. --Wally Shoup
