GRACE KELLY - LEE KONITZ

‘GRACEfulLEE’ (Pazz): B

You expect 15-year-old jazz prodigies to try to steal the show with speed, stamina and volume. But Brookline’s Kelly upends expectations. Paired with mentor and alto giant Konitz, Kelly adopts his tart and harmonically complex but ultra-cool approach on a languid fourth outing whose tension depends as much on what she doesn’t play as what she does. Indeed, you could complain that Kelly has appropriated Konitz so completely that it’s occasionally hard to tell them apart. But even if that weren’t an oversimplification, it would be startling achievement for a teenager. Russell Malone, Matt Wilson and Rufus Reid provide all-star support. Download: ‘GRACEfulLEE.”
