GA Russell Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This looks interesting. HALF NOTE ANNOUNCES A NEW RELEASE FROM LEE KONITZ ENFANTS TERRIBLES Featuring BILL FRISELL GARY PEACOCK JOEY BARON AVAILABLE IN STORES AND ONLINE SEPTEMBER 25, 2012 NEW YORK, August 20, 2012 - Enfants Terribles features four veteran jazz men whose collective efforts on stage and in the studio span decades. Together they are saxophonist Lee Konitz, guitarist Bill Frisell, bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Joey Baron. Individually, each boasts a distinguished career path and network of associations representing jazzʼs wide range of stylistic directions. (Konitz alone began professionally in 1945.) Recorded live at the Blue Note, Enfants Terribles finds the group surveying tunes well-known to the jazz community, standards played and re-imagined throughout the years - "Body & Soul," "I Canʼt Get Started," "What Is This Thing Called Love" and "Stella By Starlight," among others. Though the repertoire is familiar, the renderings are new, a function of the collaborative spirit and interplay among these particular musicians. Their union evinces a strong sense of togetherness - the sum effect of a four-way exchange shaping artful creation. RECORDED LIVE AT THE BLUE NOTE TRACKS 1. What Is This Thing Called Love 2. Body and Soul 3. Stella By Starlight 4. Iʼll Remember April 5. I Remember You 6. I Canʼt Get Started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 It is decent. Saw them last week and it was pretty engaging/entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If I didn't know who they were and saw that photo, I'd still think it was a bunch of crazyass old men. And I do mean that as a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Caught their late set at The Blue Note on Saturday. It was "lovely" in the best sense. The announcer gave the usual "turn your phones to silent, don't talk loud, don't wander about etc" advice ... Lee Konitz waited a beat and said "and enjoy yourselves!" Quite some history amongst those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 This one is now up on Spotify. It is soothing, and I find very pleasant to have on in the background. I think if I listened to it closely, I would feel that (to my taste) there is too much noodling during the middle tracks. Definitely worth your time to check out at Spotify.
