Lee Konitz/Inside Hi-Fi(Atlantic, 1956)
Konitz's alto, with its subdued, lyrical sound, spins out minor melody accompanied by Billy Bauer's guitar.
The track is a Konitz original, "Kelly's Trace," which any enthusiast would know.
The album title may have made you think it was audio trace, but this actually means "ecstasy."
The key is the sharp turns of the horizontal lines that Konitz likes.
It's an album that swirls as if someone else is playing it.
