The most unusual aspect to this outing by altoist
Lee Konitz
is that all nine selections are performed in 3/4 time.
"Someday My Prince Will Come"
and
Sonny Rollins
's "Valse Hot" were originally waltzes but "Lover Man," "Bluesette" and particularly "Giant Steps" were never recorded in that time signature before. With the assistance of pianist
Fred Hersch
, bassist
Mike Richmond
and drummer
Adam Nussbaum
,
Konitz
manages to uplift this session above the level of a potential gimmick and finds unexpected beauty in these standards and originals. ~ Scott Yanow
