This Lee Konitz recording is of even greater interest than usual. Altoist Konitz, in a quintet with valve trombonist Marshall Brown, pianist Dick Katz, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette, performs jazz adaptations of three Bela Bartok piano compositions, a trio of Dick Katz originals, two of his own pieces (including "Subconscious-Lee") and versions of "Lester Leaps In" and "Body and Soul" that include transcriptions of recorded solos by, respectively, Lester Young and Roy Eldridge. A thought-provoking and consistently enjoyable set of music. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Andrew Hill Dance With Death CD (1968) Remastered
Peacemeal songs
$9.49 
Andrew Hill's Dance of Death, recorded in 1968 with a stellar band, was not issued until 1980. In the late 1960s, Blue Note was no longer the most adventurous of jazz labels. While certain titles managed to scrape through -- Eddie Gale's Ghetto Music did but only because Francis Wollf personally financed it -- many didn't. The label was firmly in the soul-jazz groove by then, and Hill's music, always on the edge, was deemed too outside for the label's roster. Musically, this is Hill at his most visionary. From hard- and post bop frames come modal and tonal inquiries of staggering complexity. Accompanied by trumpeter Charles Tolliver, saxophonist Joe Farrell, drummer Billy Higgins and bassist Victor Sproles, ...

Fast forward more than four decades, and Place Vendôme itself is a rare album that's basically impervious to criticism. It's sui generis; the Swingles and the MJQ's badinage on Bach is what it is, you either like it or you don't, and whether one does or not doesn't much matter. However, the Philips CD version of it does have one significant variable in that the digital mastering was supervised, in 1988, by John Lewis. His input into the remastering was to bring the MJQ more up front in the mix, not an entirely evenhanded solution, as it was originally marketed as a Swingle Singers album to start with. Moreover, the effect of the new mastering results in some strange artifacts, such as a passage in the "Ricercare 2 à 6 (Offrande Musicale, BWV 1079)" where the MJQ drops out for a passage, and the unbalanced Swingles continue singing away in the background as though segregated to a phantom channel. Nevertheless, that which John Lewis wrought is liable to stick -- a proposed BBC Legends reissue of a MJQ concert recorded in London was quashed in 2001 by Lewis shortly before he died; it hasn't appeared, and it isn't likely to. For those interested primarily in the MJQ in reference to Place Vendôme, the Philips CD version should be fine, whereas those interested in the Swingle Singers' part of the equation might want to track down a copy of the original LP release -- not a difficult task -- as the mix is weighted more in the favor of the voices. Anyone desiring a genuinely balanced version of Place Vendôme where both elements are relatively even, however, will have to get used to one or the other. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis
For a short time in the mid-'60s, the Modern Jazz Quartet were working primarily in Europe and recording for the French division of Philips, with the results coming out in the United States on the MJQ's regular label, Atlantic. There was only one exception to this rule: Place Vendôme, the collaboration the MJQ did with the Swingle Singers, ...
