Liner Note Author: Hank O'Neal. Recording information: Downtown Sound, New York, NY (09/20/1977/09/21/1977); New York, NY (09/20/1977/09/21/1977). Illustrator: Leo Meiersdorff. Photographer: Rollo Phlecks. The Lee Konitz Nonet never really prospered, but they recorded several excellent albums. With such top players as flugelhornist John Eckert, trombonist Jimmy Knepper, and baritonist Ronnie Cuber in the group, and colorful arrangements provided by Sy Johnson, this band's repertoire was as wide as one would expect from a Konitz band. Whether it be the Louis Armstrong-associated "Struttin' with Some Barbeque," a Lester Young-inspired "Sometimes I'm Happy," Charlie Parker's "Chi-Chi," "Giant Steps," or some newer originals, the results are frequently superb. ~ Scott Yanow
