Lee Konitz and Michel Petrucciani: Toot Sweet
by Joshua Weiner
Judging from their frequent occurrence in his long discography, duet sessions are among Lee Konitz's favorites. These intimate settings have also encouraged some of his best work; for example, his 1967 album The Lee Konitz Duets (Milestone/OJC), on which he performed with several diverse partners in an astonishing range of styles. The mood is more focussed ...
Lee Konitz: Live-Lee
by Derek Taylor
Few jazz musicians have made as successful and long-running use of the name-based pun as Lee Konitz. Sharing phonetic semblance to an almost ubiquitously applicable suffix certainly helps.

Two distinct sets comprise this album. The first four songs see Konitz in a quartet arrangement. Featured guest, Mark Turner, joins on the last ...
Lee Konitz: Parallels
by AAJ Staff
Perhaps there are benefits to not being signed to a single label, especially when the artist is as well-known and recordable and in-demand as Lee Konitz.
