Lee Konitz.
Peer and friend - pause on that – of
The was not ideally suited to jazz. It’s difficult to say why. The existence of the C-Melody saxophone may go some way. I have a point of view which I might share sometime. It’s a bit contentious. Will need to check on things (though sources are rare). But in the modern era of the alto fitted in well (it could hardly have failed to) as the C-Melody seemed to fade. 🎷

I think my favourite . I’m guessing: 1965, backstage Carnegie Hall, 10th Memorial. Lee Konitz, the Other Alto Player, was asked to perform an impromptu ‘Blues for ’, an insight into how far Lee had established himself in the heavens. Lee began hesitantly: "I feel a little presumptuous standing all alone up here. If anyone wants to join in please do". The resulting performance was as if Bird stood at his side. .

epoch. Extraordinary. Met this painfully shy, humourous man several times. He could be difficult. It is said he was once asked to play Take Five by someone in a club. reputedly replied « I wouldn’t be seen dead playing  » Anyone who understand Lee’s pioneering of an alternative to ’s style should understand that the request was dumb. As if: ‘You sound a bit like ’. There was and Konitz. After that, just influence.
