Alto Saxophonist Lee Konitz was born in Chicago in 1927 and has enjoyed one of the most creative and prolific careers in modern jazz. After an early experience with Claude Thornhill Orchestra, Stan Kenton’s Orchestra, the innovative small groups of pianist Lennie Tristano, and the Miles Davis Capitol Orchestra, Konitz turned freelance and has remained in the forefront of post-bop improvisation ever since.
