Live from the LOFT
Wednesday, 14th of April 2021

stream starts : 8.45 pm CET
concert starts: 9.00 pm CET

On April 15, 2020, Lee Konitz, "arguably the most influential alto saxophone soloist after bebop progenitor Charlie Parker" (David R. Adler), succumbed in New York City at the age of 92 to COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In memory of the grandmaster, who lived in Cologne for many years, and had frequently visited Lthe OFT as a guest (but never as a performing musician), saxophonist Frank Gratkowski and pianist Simon Seidl joined forces at the LOFT on April 28, 2020 for a musical devotional.

On the eve of the first anniversary of Lee Konitz's death, Frank and Simon will meet again at the LOFT. This time they will play mainly compositions by Konitz himself to commemorate the unparalleled and singular saxophonist.
