In the late 70s Konitz led a notable nonet and in 1992 he won the prestigious Jazzpar Prize. His recordings have ranged from cool bop to thoughtful free improvisations, and his Milestone set of Duets (1967) is a classic.

He almost retired from music in the early 60s but re-emerged a few years later. Konitz toured Scandinavia (1951), where his cool sound was influential, and he fit in surprisingly well with Stan Kenton His Orchestra (1952-1954), being featured on many charts by Bill Holman and Bill Russo. Konitz blended very well with Warne Marshs tenor (their unisons on Wow are miraculous) and would have several reunions with both Tristano and Marsh through the years, but he was also interested in finding his own way by the early 50s he started breaking away from the Tristano school. Konitz was with Miles Davis Birth of the Cool Nonet during their one gig and their Capitol recordings (1948-1950) and recorded with Lennie Tristanos innovative sextet (1949), including the first two free improvisations ever documented.

Gerry Mulligan Quartet Pacific Jazz Rar Free Improvisations Ever Konitz gained some attention for his solos with Claude Thornhill His Orchestra (1947). This album is heavy on percussion and vocals and features the stringed instruments quinto and tres in the traditional Cuban style of guaguanco.Įarly on he studied clarinet, switched to alto, and played with Jerry Wald. Herbie Hanock, Joe Henderson, Joe Chambers and even Larry Young plays piano on two tracks. The sound is ultimately rock, with overdriven guitars, repetitive basslines, and strong backbeats, but with complex, shifting-time signatures and song forms, as well as improvised solos and accompaniment, this album also draws some influence from classic avant-garde jazz players as well (especially from the keys player, Craig Taborn, who is becoming one of the most widely known pianists in contemporary avant-jazz.). Konitz elegant sound fits right in with the laid-back, contrapuntal compositions of Mulligans quartet.

The pieces are enjoyable to listen to as music, but those interested in the compositional aspect will also find them very interesting to study. Its a good mix of classic old-school gospel and slightly more contemporary RB influenced gospel.
