Lee Konitz is one of my all-time favourite jazz musicians. His interpretations and improvs are highly intelligent, very subtle, almost painfully intimate at times. Konitz has a truly original artistic voice and uncompromising vision on par with more widely known jazz giants. One must admit that Chick Corea is also surprisingly responsive there. "Stella by Starlight" is a popular jazz standard, in due times played, for example, by Miles Davis or Chet Baker, Bill Evans or Keith Jarreth and many others.
This particular live performance was recorded on September the 19th, 1981, at Woodstock Jazz Festival, New York. The original track is about 16 minutes long, but unfortunately the video was brutally cut to about 8 minutes on the DVD that I own. There wasn't enough footage for the whole composition and it turned out that there were also some parts missing in the middle. The sound quality on the DVD was quite mediocre. So I've mixed DVD-video with CD-audio in the best way I could. Enjoy!
