about

Recorded in 1999, this album is the first studio project in the longstanding collaboration between Lee Konitz and Ohad Talmor.

The repertoire is solely centered around music composed by a variety of French Impressionist Composers from the early 20th Century.
Ohad Talmor sought to explore this world by concentrating on lesser known pieces, including "Les Bandar Log" from Charles Koechlin or the rarely performed song "L'absent" by Gabriel Fauré.
In this setting, Lee Konitz weaves in and out of the written material, improvising melodic lines as a natural extension of the thru composed material.

It is a unique album, featuring the Axis String 4tet, made of outstanding New York based string players who are all noted improvisers in their own right.
