Lee Konitz
Born:
Konitz is sometimes regarded as the preeminent cool
jazz saxophonist, because he performed and recorded
with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano (both often cited as
important cool jazz proponents of the mid 1940s), and
with Miles Davis on his epochal Birth of the Cool, which
gave the form its name.
Konitz has also been repeatedly noted as one of the few
jazz saxophonists of the late 1940s and 1950s who did
not seem imitative of the massively influential Charlie
Parker.
In the early 1950s, Konitz recorded and toured with Stan
Kenton's orchestra.
In 1961, he recorded Motion with Elvin Jones on drums
and Sonny Dallas on bass
