paul secor Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Very best Birthday Wishes to Mr. Konitz! Quote
mjzee Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 May you spend your birthday merri-Lee! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Lee will not see this thread but I hope that after all these years he knows I love him. Last talked to him at Lincoln Center a year or two ago. Tyme flyes . :-) Quote
paul secor Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 It's good to see a birthday thread for a musician who's still with us. We should do more of those - even though the musicians probably won't see or know about them. Quote
Larry Kart Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 The musician I feel closest to in the sense that if played the alto and were a f---ing genius, I might sound something like Lee. Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 Happy birthday to one of my heroes. Quote
gmonahan Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 And not yet in the Down Beat Hall of Fame. I mean, really. Not only a great, great player, but by all accounts, a gentle and generous guy. Happy Birthday Mr. Konitz! gregmo Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 Happy birthday to one of my heroes. This is what I was about to type, until I saw that I used the exact words a year ago. Quote
Guy Berger Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 He's awesome and I'm glad he's still with us. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Happy birthday, Lee, with many more to come. Quote
Justin V Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 The great Lee Konitz is 88 today. I'll spin something by him later, and I hope to see him perform again if he is anywhere within a six-hour radius because he is still playing at an incredible level. Here's wishing him a happy birthday. Quote
Cyril Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 Happy Birthday, Lee Konitz. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 All the best Lee. Happy Birthday. Quote
Clunky Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 Happy birthday Lee. One of the very very best. Quote
Justin V Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 It is a great day for jazz birthdays, with Lee Konitz turning 92 and Terry Gibbs turning 95. I haven't seen him since catching two sets at the Kennedy Center the day after his 90th birthday. Although my daughter was still in the womb, she got to hear Konitz in person that day. I hope that he is enjoying his birthday. Quote
