Lee Konitz, Timespan (Wave)

I have a fine Lee Konitz album on Wave, Timespan (LP 14), which seems quite a rarity nowadays. It presents a variety of Konitz solos recorded over a nuimber of years and all of highest quality. I'll also back the recommendations for the very excellent Release Record, Send Tape.

Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked Englishwoman discovers disappeared American rock legend through internet music discussion forum!

Nice one! I got this a few years back and never regretted it. BTW, all the talk on a recent thread about Gerry Mulligan made me realize I didn't have Night Lights but I'd been kind of meaning to get it for some time. So I pulled the trigger and it just came in the mail yesterday. Very nice. Yes. Superb musicianship from all!
