I have that LP, it´s very fine music. I think I remember they also played one ore two Chick Corea compositions on it.

I remember the liner notes and the statement by Lee when he was invited to do a European Tour with a nonet and he was kinda puzzled and answered:

A nonet ? That´s difficult ! How about a quartet and a quintet, or three trios ?

I think I haven´t listened to that LP for years. Good idea to go back listening to it.

If I remember right, one of the tunes was "If Dreams Come True".

And another big point ! Sy Oliver was the arranger of the stuff. Rite now while I´m posting that......, I think I hear it in my head, the "voicings" you know, I think it was the way Sy Oliver makes the stuff sound.....

[JSngry]

Sy Oliver, or Sy Johnson?

Probably not Syl Jonson, though!

[Gheorghe]

JSngry: Thank you !

I noticed my mistake after posting. Listened to the album yesterday, and noticed that maybe I had written "Sy Oliver".

Of course I mean Sy Johnson. Don´t know how I could make that mistake.

I suggested many years ago on this board that those 4(?) LPs of the Konitz Nonet scattered over several labels would make a great Mosaic Select ...

I've got a copy of that Pye LP somewhere (if I can find it).

Glad you found a copy. I had a copy of the Japanese LP and sold it to someone here - can't remember whom - years ago.
