Venezia album for sale Product Description

Venezia album for sale by Lee Konitz was released Apr 18, 2013 on the Philology label. Lee Konitz has made many fine CDs for the Italian label Philology, so it isn't surprising that this one looks like yet another, although that is not the case. The alto saxophonist is merely a guest with the orchestra Il Suono Improvviso on five of the eight tracks, none of which were composed or arranged by him. Sadly, the compositions do little to inspire anyone on the date, as the orchestra's director, Giannantonio De Vincenzo, wrote six of the songs, including the very tedious, slow to develop opener, "Solo Sogni," "Leja" which sounds like a soundtrack to a mediocre movie from the 1970s, and the funky yet disappointing "Un Orso Di Nome Bruno." The tracks without their special guest hardly fare better, though trombonist Giueseppe Calamosca provides some nice trombone solos during the otherwise pedestrian "Casin Dei Nobili." It's obvious that some of the other soloists have considerable chops, but the weak compositions and arrangements give each of them little opportunity to show their true potential. ...See Full Description
