Our Take

Lee Konitz's The Complete 1956 Quartets is a delightful romp through the heyday of jazz. With a lineup featuring some of the era's most talented musicians, including pianist Billy Bauer and drummer Dick Scott, this album is a masterclass in cool.

Konitz's signature smooth saxophone stylings take center stage, weaving in and out of complex melodies with ease. The quartet's chemistry is palpable, with each member effortlessly complementing the others' playing.

Tracks like "Subconscious-Lee" and "Foolin' Myself" showcase Konitz's exceptional improvisational skills, while slower numbers such as "Moon-Lee" provide a welcome respite from the frenetic pace of the faster tunes.

The album's production is top-notch, capturing the warmth and intimacy of the quartet's live performances. The sound quality is crystal clear, allowing each instrument to shine through without overpowering the others.

Overall, The Complete 1956 Quartets is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Its timeless sound and undeniable charm make it a standout in Konitz's extensive discography. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and let Lee Konitz's smooth saxophone serenade you into the night. Trust us, you won't regret it.
