  • The funny thing about Jazz and the individuality of sound is that even if you DO imitate another artists conception or sound, you'll STILL sound like yourself!

    Because people will say, "he sounds like Bird, BUT" either too much vibrato, not enough, sounds like a machine/no soul, doesn't articulate quite right..you'll never get it.

    I believe that you can't escape *your* voice, but in pure imitation grown out of obsession with an artist...all you do is destroy the purity of your own voice.

  • There are a few musicians who know everything and nothing at the same time: Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarett, Mark Turner, Peter Bernstein, they all exist in their music in the same way, paying no attention to individuality being individual, (=

    yeah... how about JOHN ZORN and Ornette Coleman

  • Lee as we love him: A true master improvisor! -- The sound is a bit canned, isn't it? Anyway, when you're over 80 you won't hear the high-pitched squeak.

  • shame on you

  • on the subject of solos stephen grappelli said;'start strong and end strong,the middle will take care of itself"

  • Are U insane!

  • To me no single musician is god. All my favorites have a spark: Stan Getz, John Lewis, Bix Beiderbecke, Ornette Coleman, Bud Powell, Connie Kay and so many others. But the only and only musical god, no, no man can be that.

  • You're damn right, lol (((:

    Another & possibly most important thing about music is that of searching for and at last NOT finding your individuality IF and only IF 'individuality' is the only subjest for your searchings. Anyway Konitz is not the exeption for this rule but in my opinion he knows how to deal with it...

  • lee konitz is god
