PLAY IT AGAIN LEE !

"What you would expect of Lee Konitz - toe tapping stuff. His playing has an ethereal quality you cant quite define and the bass backing is a standard a little above the norm of what you would expect of a album of this quality. This timeless quality is a must for the collection of all alto and tenor sax fans!"

"I couldn't agree more with Ms Sanford's assessment of this exceptional recording. I can only add that while Konitz is known primarily for his work with the alto saxophone, his performances here on the tenor take the cake. If the artist is new to you, be assured that he is in the same league as Rollins, Hawkins and Young -- that is to say he will likely become one of your favorite sax players given the chance. I can think of no better Konitz collection to begin with than this one."
