This recording is better than it initially appears. Altoist Lee Konitz and his augmented nonet perform eight numbers from the musical Chicago, all songs that have been long forgotten ever since. However Konitz (switching between alto and soprano) and his sidemen (who include trumpeter Richard Hurwitz, Dick Katz and Michael Longo on keyboards and bassist Major Holley who also takes a couple of vocals) play with enthusiasm and melodic creativity; some of the themes are quite catchy. DISCLAIMER: All music, lyrics, videos and photos, remain copyright of their respective owners. No infringement intended. Used for the Artist's promotional purposes only. If you like this recording, I strongly recommend you buying the record. ...more
