Lee Konitz - Parallels (2001/2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

This way of life I have chosen to follow is filled with many pleasant situations - I travel, acknowledging an invitation, to various places around the world, and frequently play with musicians for the first time in front of an audience, and more often than not, it works - amazing!
This has also occurred for recording sessions. Someone invites me to join in for a session, as in this case, and lo and behold, some nice sounds ensue - My! My!
Bill Goodwin called me and we came up with this band: Peter Bernstein grew up on the same building as me in New York City and I’ve been looking for the opportunity to play together. Mark Turner was another treat for me: I asked him if he knew any of the lines I wrote (He knew them all!); and I’ve been playing with Bill and Steve for sometime, so I knew I liked them - And thanks to the Chesky brothers for their interest and their staff for making such a pleasant environment (in a Church!) and such a good sound.
The nature of this music is so filled with possibilities to be creative that special rapport can happen at any given moment and it definitely happened here with these special people
