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
.
Links are in the comments (mp3 and flac). My thanks to gchrisnick for seeding.

Thanks for the lead jazz-nekko. Some interesting stuff there, including a great Paul Bley trio.

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
