Bill Evans-Lee Konitz • Together Again

 

Review by Ken Dryden
The somewhat notorious bootleg label Moon, which has evidently ceased operations, will really frustrate jazz fans with this release. The quartet featuring both pianist Bill Evans and alto saxophonist Lee Konitz appears only on the closing medley and is marred by a continuous hum. Konitz appears with Niels Pedersen and Alan Dawson on "All the Things You Are" and "What's New?" Evans joins the rhythm section for "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "Beautiful Love." The poor sound with occasional tape dropouts will make it appealing only to the most obsessive fans of Bill Evans and/or Lee Konitz.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
El famoso sello de piratas Moon, que evidentemente ha cesado sus operaciones, frustrará a los aficionados al jazz con este lanzamiento. El cuarteto formado por el pianista Bill Evans y el saxofonista alto Lee Konitz sólo aparece en el popurrí final y se ve empañado por un zumbido continuo. Konitz aparece con Niels Pedersen y Alan Dawson en «All the Things You Are» y «What's New?». Evans se une a la sección rítmica para «Come Rain or Come Shine» y «Beautiful Love». El sonido pobre con ocasionales caídas de cinta lo hará atractivo sólo para los fans más obsesivos de Bill Evans y/o Lee Konitz.
