Lee Konitz and Dave Douglas Quintet

Altoist Lee Konitz is still the most intrepid of the saxists who came of age during the bebop era. He has a nearly unparalleled knack for making the most familiar melodies feel otherworldly and new, and his latest bands have mixed seasoned peers and lively acolytes compellingly. Here, the 87-year-old coleads a potentially fascinating band with trumpet luminary Dave Douglas, rounded out by pianist Matt Mitchell, bassist Linda Oh and drummer Ches Smith.
