The American legend, Lee Konitz, is one of the most significant jazz saxophonists, one of the last remaining giants, and at the age of 90 he still excels. During Konitz's long career, he has performed successfully in a wide range of styles, including bebop, cool jazz, and avant-garde jazz. His name is strongly associated with the cool jazz movement and includes participation in Miles Davis’s “Birth of the Cool”. Konitz has received the prestigious Jazzpar Prize in 1992 for his lifelong work. Do not miss out on three historical evenings at Montmartre when Konitz visits Montmartre with Florian Weber on piano, Michel Benita on bass and Israel Verala on drums....
