Lesson 159: The Lee Konitz Method: How to Improvise Blues Like a Jazz Pro

[@beachnut1043]

I also had the pleasure and privilege of studying with Lee Konitz. He was such a unique person. Hearing his beautiful sound on the saxophone up close is still impressed in my mind's ear.

Thanks for sharing that Hana - I agree - it's also clear that Lee's sound has influenced your sound and playing.

This is a great follow up to your other video and does a great job demonstrating how to take that same concept and apply it to playing over forms.
