Please someone tell me what is the name of the composition they are playing at the begining of the video I LOVE IT!!!! For Real

It's the beginning of Composition No. 358.

King of Geeks.

Hi. Just wondering: is the alto player seen at roughly 3:51 Steve Lehman?

Yup - Steve on the left, Andrew Raffo Dewar on right.

Cool! Thanks for the killin' video.

You can find Konitz's comments on Braxton's standards playing starting on page 217 of Andy Hamilton's book on Konitz, which you can find on Google Books.

However, since the 12+1tet does not play standards, Konitz's comments are not relevant in this context.

but who really cares what konitz says about braxton. i like a lot of konitz and some of braxton's standards. Konitz comments won't change my view on braxtons approach to monk or tristano's work. konitz has the right to dislike braxton's works despites brax's praise of him. in fact i think it rather good that someone might be disliked by their hero. it shows that they are not a hero worshipper nor an imitator. they are merely a fan.
