Lee Konitz - Inside HiFi

180g audiophile vinyl reissue.

This excellent recording features altoist Lee Konitz with two separate quartets during 1956. Either guitarist Billy Bauer or pianist Sal Mosca are the main supporting voices in groups also including either Arnold Fishkind or Peter Ind on bass and Dick Scott on drums. The most unusual aspect to the set is that on the four selections with Mosca, Konitz switches to tenor, playing quite effectively in a recognisable cool style. The overall highlights of this enjoyable album are Everything Happens to Me, All Of Me, and Star Eyes, but all eight performances are well played and swinging. - Scott Yannow
