About Lee Konitz

Lee Konitz, an American jazz alto saxophonist and composer, left an indelible mark on the world of jazz. Born in 1927, Konitz was one of the few alto saxophonists of the 1940s and 1950s who managed to carve out his own unique style without being overshadowed by the legendary Charlie Parker. His music is a testament to his harmonic sophistication and tonal eloquence, making him one of the most influential alto saxophonists in the early development of modern jazz. Konitz's journey began with a deep love for jazz, sparked by the swing bands he heard broadcasting from hotel rooms across the country. His career spanned decades, during which he continued to evolve and inspire, even performing live at the age of 82. Konitz's legacy is one of fluid creativity and a deep passion for improvisation, making his music a timeless exploration of cool jazz, bebop, and hard bop.
