AMG Review of Pride
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideThroughout his career, altoist Lee Konitz has always had his ears open and been a musically curious improviser. His brand of relaxed freedom, tied to chordal improvisation but much freer than the usual eboppers, and his cool and distinctive sound have made him a jazz giant for decades. For this set, Konitz is teamed with three musicians (pianist/organist George Colligan, bassist Doug Weiss, and drummer Darren Beckett) with whom he had never played before. However, the combination work well on five standards and three Konitz songs. The music always swings, the rhythm section is supportive, and Konitz is as inventive as always. This is also one of the few sessions in which the altoist (on a few cuts) is backed by organ.
