Lee Konitz/Paul Bley Trio - Live Cambridge Ma 2002


Details:
Lee Konitz Trio w/ Paul Bley and Larry Grenadier
Regatta Bar, Cambridge, MA

April 12, 2002
Lee Konitz - alto
Paul Bley - piano
Larry Grenadier - bass

First set

01 intro 0.55
02 sweet and lovely 18.13
03 long ago and far away 14.33
04 i can't get started 11.06
05 star eyes 9.18

Second set

01 intro 01.13
02 ??? 6.08
03 all the things you are 11.50
04 body and soul 12.48
05 star eyes 9.27

Audience recording, but the sound quality is very good.
It's great to hear these two legends still performing so well. I see from his discography that Konitz made his first recording the year I was born, and I'm not exactly in the first blush of youth. He has played and recorded with Bley many times, so I guess they know each other's music very well. I don't know why they decided to include a bass player, I think he's sometimes a little intrusive at times during the more delicate interplay.

This is definitlely one to savour over the Christmas holiday, so send the wife and kids out shopping with the mother-in-law, fill your glass, put another log on the fire and enjoy.

New visitors to this blog should search back to find the fantastic post that sotise put up a while ago - "Duplicity", which features Konitz in a duo with another great pianist, Martial Solal

    Thanks, Boromir! Anything played by Paul Bley is always worth an ear ... or two!

    Sorry Boromir,

    but apparently none of the massmirror links are active!
    Could you re-up this one too (Konitz/Blay 2002), and also Ney York Art Quartet "Mohawk"?
    It would be greatly appreciated

    best
