Sound Lee! is a dutch Quartet whose main points of interest are pianist
Guus Janssen, whose fluency in Lennie Tristano's vernacular extends to
a deft incorporation of Bach into his solo's, and alto saxophonist Jorrit
Dijkstra,
whose hard edge and angular lines makes him a refreshing unlikely front
man for a Konitz project (bassist Raoel van der Weide and drummer Wim
Janssen round out the group).
They know Konitz's compositions well enough to create
interpretations that generally contrast markedly and intriguingly with
Konitz's originals. The quartet conveys the bustle and buoyancy usually
associated with New Dutch Swing, but without the broad humor. It is a
welcome celebration of Lee.
