Art of the Duo (Lee Konitz and Albert Mangelsdorff album)
Art of the Duo is an album by saxophonist Lee Konitz and trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff recorded in West Germany in 1983 but not released on the Enja label until 1988.[1][2][3][4] Critical reception
David Dupont on Allmusic said "Konitz has long espoused the belief that horn players can swing without a rhythm section, yet much of the time Mangelsdorff insists on serving as a faux bass – really, tuba – player. And when he uses his patented technique of singing into his horn while creating chords, he functions as a very simple guitar player. That said, anything with these two masters on it has its pleasures. Konitz creates tasty lines with souffle-like lightness, and when Mangelsdorff breaks free he provides some gruff, complementary solos".[5] Track listingAll compositions by Lee Konitz except where noted.
