Lee Konitz in a variety of settings,plays with great warmth

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is a wonderful album.It displays Konitz in a variety of formats and none of the recordings are dull or average.There are 6 tracks by a nonet,2 with the quintet and some duets with piano,alto,bass etc.The record was the result of Konitz appearing at a Jazz Festival in Denmark.Three live tracks from the festival are included.This type of pick-up grouping can often disappoint but this record has not left my CD-player for days because it is full of life and warmth and the variety of settings makes for an entertaining listen.Konitz fans will love it and newcomers will be pleasantly surprised."
