Jazz Line-Up - Lee Konitz

Claire Martin introduces celebrated alto-saxophonist Lee Konitz in concert at the 2008 Glasgow International Jazz Festival, performing alongside pianist Frank Frank Wunsch and bassist Henning Gailing in a programme featuring mainly jazz standards. With a career that has lasted more than 50 years, Konitz is known for going against the grain, determined to forge his own style of playing and not follow that of the great Charlie Parker. He gained early popularity playing with pianist Lennie Tristano and later as a member of Miles Davis's famous Birth of the Cool nonet. After virtually giving up performing in the 1960s, Konitz re-emerged with a burst of recording and concert activity in the 1970s. He has remained a sought-after headliner and sideman. 1.
