Lee Konitz - You & Lee + Lee Konitz Meets Jimmy Giuffre [CD New]

• 2 ORIGINAL ALBUMS ON 1 CD• INCLUDES 16 -PAGE BOOKLETThis release presents the complete Lee Konitz albums You and Lee (Verve MGVS6131), and Lee Konitz Meets Jimmy Giuffre (Verve MGVS6073). These were Konitz and Bill Evans’ earliest studio collaborations: on the first LP the pianist only played on one of the two sessions (Jim Hall replaced him on the other one), while on the second Evans was featured throughout the entire album. Both works were taped in 1959, and although Konitz and Evans had been previously recorded together in a concert setting, and would be taped in the same fashion during a 1965 European tour, their only other studio LP collaboration was the pianist’s 1977 album Crosscurrents. The great Jimmy Giuffre also participated on both records – on the first as arranger, and on the second as arranger and performerPERSONNEL:ON TRACKS [1-8]: YOU AND LEE.LEE KONITZ, alto saxERNIE ROYAL, MARKY MARKOWITZ, PHIL SUNKEL, trumpetBOB BROOKMEYER, EDDIE BERT, BILLY BYERS, tromboneBILL EVANS, piano JIM HALL, guitar SONNY DALLAS, bassROY HAYNES, drums JIMMY GIUFFRE, arrangerNew York, October 29 & 30, 1959.ON TRACKS [9-17]: LEE KONITZ MEETS JIMMY GIUFFRELEE KONITZ, alto sax soloistJIMMY GIUFFRE, baritone sax & arrangerHAL McKUSICK, 2nd alto saxTED BROWN, WARNE MARSH, tenor saxBILL EVANS, pianoBUDDY CLARK, bassRONNIE FREE, drumsNew York, May 12 & 13, 1959.TRACKS:01 Ev’rything I’ve Got (Belongs To You)02 You Don’t Know What Love Is03 You’re Driving Me Crazy04 I Didn’t Know About You05 You’re Clear Out Of This World06 The More I See You07 You Are Too Beautiful08 I’m Getting Sentimental Over You09 Palo Alto10 Darn That Dream11 When Your Lover Has Gone12 Cork ‘N’ Bib13 Somp’m Outa’ Nothin’14 Someone To Watch Over Me15 Uncharted16 Moonlight In Vermont17 The Song Is YouTotal Time: 75:42
