About

The album title <i>Old Songs New</i> captures something essential about alto saxophone icon Lee Konitz, still playing beautifully in his early nineties at the time of this session. With the aid of arranger Ohad Talmor, Konitz sails through a collection of standards and a representative original (“Kary’s Trance”), making old songs new via fresh, lyrical improvisations and Talmor’s highly inventive chamber-like settings for flute, clarinet, and string. (Talmor contributes haunting tenor sax on the intro of “I Cover the Waterfront.”) .
