The whim of the first disc of Impulse! if it is taken to the threshold of the nineties, yet another step in a career that would not be enough to tell two Treccani and their Appendices. A life in jazz as there have been few, and as ever (maybe) there will be, that of Lee Konitz. From the beginning the court of Lennie Tristano 's legendary Birth of the Cool Miles, by Claude Tornhill and Stan Kenton to fraternal association with Warne Marsh , the glittering wonders scattered among the fifties and sixties (put hands and ears least of Motion , in a trio with Elvin Jones and Sonny Dallas ) infinite series of collaborations between the seventies and eighties have made it the absolute giant status ( Satori and Duplicity , published by the Italian Horo, the essential). Until the present day, ECM Angel Song , with Kenny Wheeler , Bill Frisell and Dave Holland , to a brace Blue Note, Alone Together and Another Shade of Blue , the giant Live at Birdland , with Brad Mehldau , Charlie Haden and Paul Motian , and the very recent Costumes Are Mandatory , given to the press thanks to Ethan Iverson , Mr. Bad Plus. It lacked just a Impulse! to complete the priceless collection. Lacuna finally filled with drummer Kenny Washington , which producing Frescalalto has somehow settled a debt contract in 1977, when Konitz wanted him for his nonet spalancandogli for the first time the doors of a recording studio. Four decades later the two are back together with Peter Washington (no relation) and never less than excellent Kenny Barron to complete the quartet. Gregori luxury for a delicious condensate Konitz-thought. Structured around the usual standard punch ( "Stella By Starlight," "Darn That Dream," "Cherokee") and above all the warm tone and sinuous saxophone, in that unmistakable ruling that the weather made it more human, real bewitching. Okay, we are not the parts of the Live at Birdland , and the rhythm section sometimes thinks only keep going without realizing that we would need very different care, greater sensitivity. But heck! Konitz enough. When sounds (Please listen to the joyous reinterpretation of "Out of Nowhere") and even when sudden humming, with the affectionate and approximate pace of those who in life has seen pretty much all.
