It's been delayed for a variety of reasons but Live in London alto sax great Lee Konitz’s new album is now looking like it's coming out in February.
Whirlwind Recordings boss bassist Michael Janisch tweeted the news earlier today:
“Finishing work starts today on my collaborative album w Lee Konitz and @tepferdan to be released in Feb”

The album was recorded in May 2010 at Pizza Express Jazz Club in London with the Chicagoan joined by pianist Dan Tepfer (Duos with Lee), bassist Michael Janisch, and long time Konitzian drummer Jeff Williams.
A landmark release for the independent jazz label, over six hours of music were recorded at the live concerts in the Soho club with selections for the albums made from across all four performances. SG
