Review by Jason Ankeny
Lee Konitz' Verve label debut remains the purest expression of the sculpted, geometric aesthetic the altoist honed throughout the Eisenhower era -- crafted with startling precision and economy, Tranquility extols the virtues of mood and shape with Talmudic zeal, towering astride thought and expression. Supported by the bedrock rhythm section of bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Dave Bailey, Konitz and guitarist Billy Bauer weave melodies as intricate and ephemeral as spider webs. Rarely is music so profoundly cerebral also so deeply heartfelt.

Crítica de Jason Ankeny
El debut de Lee Konitz en el sello Verve sigue siendo la expresión más pura de la estética esculpida y geométrica que el contralto perfeccionó a lo largo de la era Eisenhower: elaborado con una precisión y economía asombrosas, Tranquility ensalza las virtudes del estado de ánimo y la forma con celo talmúdico, elevándose a horcajadas sobre el pensamiento y la expresión. Apoyados por la sección rítmica del bajista Henry Grimes y el batería Dave Bailey, Konitz y el guitarrista Billy Bauer tejen melodías tan intrincadas y efímeras como telas de araña. Pocas veces una música tan profundamente cerebral es también tan sentida.
