May the memory of Lee Konitz be a blessing.

This is great!

Konitz may have been America's version of the UK's Ronnie Scott with his off-beat sense of humor. he and Grace make a good match.

Lovely. 317E 32St. A classic. Is that Dan Tepfer?

Great to hear Lee and Grace on stage together. She is where she should be with the greats on Alto Sax! Lee does seem not to quite be at his best but Grace shines as usual.

Are you serious? When you're 87 years old anytime you can play the horn you're at your best.

[@aarfeld]

What, you were expecting the queen of Monaco, perhaps? That she's not, but she plays a mean horn.
