Lee Konitz - The Complete 1956 Quartets

This release presents the complete contents of the original Atlantic label LPs Worthwhile Konitz and Inside Hi Fi, which contain all of Konitz' 1956 quartet recordings, among the highlights are the sides featuring Konitz, Jimmy Rowles, Leroy Vinnegar and Shelly Manne. This exact formation would never record again.

The complete 1957 LP The Real Lee Konitz (also originally issued by Atlantic) has been added as a bonus. It showcases Konitz in a quartet setting again on most of the album.
