Lee Konitz - Very Cool - SHM CD
Japanese import
Lee Konitz was, by 1957, firmly established as an individualist capable of forging his path away from the alleged West Coast Cool School.
Flying away from peers Paul Desmond and Art Pepper, Konitz on his trusty alto sax braved the waters of third stream and early creative improvising, which would hold him in good stead for the remainder of his career. Those inferences are clearly imbued on this reissue. The witty and mostly wonderful Very Cool sessions feature underappreciated trumpeter Don Ferrara in a quintet with Konitz, doing standards, the Konitz composition "Kary's Trance," and two of Ferrara's tunes.
