Happy 89th to Lee Konitz

[ghost of miles]

Hoping to do a more career-comprehensive show at some point, but here's one from the archives devoted to his late-1950s Verve recordings:

Lee Konitz: The Verve Years

Happy b-day to him, I think he was born a curmudgeon, but I hope he takes time out from his usual rigorous self-criticism to enjoy the day.

Happy Birthday, and many more.

I hope Mr. Konitz has a happy birthday,  I'll listen to one of his albums tonight.  I hope that I can see him play when he tours next year.

Wow! And Lou Donaldson and Jimmy Heath are 90. Roy Haynes and Jon Hendricks both 94. 

'Youngsters' Barry Harris and George Coleman, 86 (Barry turns 87 Dec. 15th) and roughly mid-late 80s. Sonny Rollins 86. Ahmad Jamal around the same.

We probably oughtta look into this whole music thing...

The New Yorker, in it's latest issue's "Night Life" section, noted in passing that Freddy Cole is 85 and Bucky Pizzarelli is 90.
