Thanks ABC; as a big konitz fan, I'll be listening for sure. Tell me one thing please - is this album available on CD? I want to add it to my collection. Cheers. Chris.
Thanks for the info...!
Hope you enjoy this broadcast on Thursday at 9pm...
Correction this is not Lee's Australian debut, I recall him playing the Kiama Jazz festival around mid to late 90's
