HITLIST *
.... ~ A
Lee Konitz A late addition to the Bridge programme. but quite a coup for the club. Alto saxophonist Lee Konitz (pictured) is well up the list of candidates for the title of greatest living jazzman. His career began with Miles (on the Birth of the Cool sessionsi and Tristano. and he has been making great. highly individual music ever since. Bridge Jazz Bar. Edinburgh, Thu 28 Nov.
Bill McHenry Although little known in these parts. McHenry is highly regarded in New York. where he works with the likes of Bad Plus“ Ethan lverson and Reid Anderson.

Ethan lverson and Martin Speake New York based pianist Ethan lverson is a Henry's regular. but switches allegiance here to team up with English alto saxophonist (and Linn Records artist) Martin Speake.
