Lee Konitz - Yesterdays - Recorded on this day inJazz March 8th 1951 - #cooljazz #milesdavis
Lee Konitz was a prominent alto saxophonist who is best known for his contributions to the development of the "cool" jazz style in the 1950s. In 1951, he recorded the song "Yesterdays" with Miles Davis, which would become one of his most famous recordings.
"Yesterdays" is a jazz standard that was first written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach for the 1933 musical "Roberta." Konitz and Davis's version of the song features a slow and introspective arrangement, with Konitz's saxophone playing a hauntingly beautiful melody that perfectly captures the melancholy mood of the lyrics.
The recording was significant not only for its musical qualities, but also for its historical importance. At the time, Konitz and Davis were both part of a group of musicians who were working to create a new style of jazz that would be characterized by a more restrained and intellectual approach to improvisation. This new style would come to be known as "cool" jazz, and "Yesterdays" was one of its earliest and most influential recordings.
Over the course of his career, Konitz recorded many other classic jazz tunes, and he collaborated with a wide variety of other musicians, including pianist Lennie Tristano and saxophonist Warne Marsh. He continued to perform and record music well into his 80s, and his influence can be heard in the work of countless jazz musicians who followed in his footsteps. Today, he is remembered as one of the greatest and most innovative saxophonists in the history of jazz music.
