Lee Konitz
Born:
Konitz is sometimes regarded as the preeminent cool
jazz saxophonist, because he performed and recorded
with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano (both often cited as
important cool jazz proponents of the mid 1940s), and
with Miles Davis on his epochal Birth of the Cool, which
gave the form its name.
Konitz has also been repeatedly noted as one of the few
jazz saxophonists of the late 1940s and 1950s who did
not seem imitative of the massively influential Charlie
Parker.
In the early 1950s, Konitz recorded and toured with Stan
Kenton's orchestra.
In 1961, he recorded Motion with Elvin Jones on drums
and Sonny Dallas on bass

But Swainson was hardly in hibernation during those years, as he has been one of Canada's busiest ...

by AAJ Staff
This interview, conducted by Allen Huotari, was first published at All About Jazz in September 1999. As history has taught us, it's not enough to be gifted with talent, one must live up to the burden that “potential" brings. Paradoxically and ironically, the blessing of having one's abilities recognized in public forum is the ...
Steve Argüelles: Home
by Ludovico Granvassu
How do you approach a solo recording session as a drummer? Especially as a drummer that does not seem to believe in drum solos? What challenges does such a format pose to a musician with a penchant for nurturing long-lasting collaborations rather than pursuing vanity projects? Does a solo album leave room ...

Giovanni Benvenuti e il Questionario di Proust
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Credo che la caratteristica principale della musica che scrivo sia la centralità della melodia: anche nelle strutture armoniche e ritmiche più complesse ricerco sempre l'immediatezza del lirismo. In questo modo si crea una connessione istintuale e non razionale con l'ascoltatore che mi permette di essere accessibile senza rinunciare a ...
