sheldonm Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 As many of you know, Larry Kart did a excellent interview with Lee Konitz this past week prior to a short solo performance by Lee. Here are a few images from the performance. m~ Quote
sheldonm Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 ...and one of Lee performing with his Nonet at the festival. Quote
sheldonm Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 Lee also came out on stage to perform one tune with Lovano's group re-visiting "Birth of the Cool".....very nice! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 ... Geez, I love Lee but he's such a silly boy. So is Larry. Perfect match. Quote
sheldonm Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 Larry is the guy on the right! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Larry is the guy on the right! How do you mean that. Those might be fightin' words. Quote
ghost of miles Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Lee looks like "wtf". Probably astonished to find himself fielding intelligent questions for a change! Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Lee seems to be looking for a pickle from above. Quote
RDK Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 From the thread title I thought Larry had taken up an instrument. Seriously, I hope Konitz makes it back to L.A. soon. Saw him here a couple of years back and he was splendid. What a character! Quote
Larry Kart Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 The "WTF" moment is Lee is in the midst of his familar "Everybody hum this note and I'll play something on top it" routine. He's listening for us to sing the note he just gave us. The routine went quite well this time because Preston Bradley Hall in the Cultural Center is a very echo-y, domed ceiling room; also, there were a fair number of musicians and otherwise musically alert people in the audience. Thus Lee's note was reproduced accurately and proceeded to hang in the air with little further effort from us, while Lee played on "Alone Together." In fact, Lee seemed a bit taken aback at first by the cloud of sound we'd created for him. It not unlike Morton Feldman's "Rothko Chapel." Thanks for the pictures, Mark. My wife couldn't be there and got a kick out of them. Quote
