Description
Continuing Storyville Records series of mid-price reissues presenting Jazzpar winners, a prestigious Danish jazz award. This album from legendary saxophonist Lee Konitz was originally released in 1993.
The set showcases the work of Konitz in a variety of settings all derived from the Jazzpar All Star Nonet directed by saxophonist Jens Søndergaard, and it begins with three tracks recorded by Radio Denmark during the actual final concert of the series in Copenhagen's Falkoner Scenen. Sadly. Although this reissue had been in preparation for some months, it has now turned into a memorial for Konitz, who died at the age of 92 from complications of the virus Covid-19 on April 15, 2020.
