Lee Konitz has recorded for the Italian label Philology almost as often as its namesake, Phil Woods, with the same consistently rewarding results. On this 1988 studio date, the veteran alto saxophonist is joined by the Space Jazz Trio, which includes one of Europe's most talented pianists, Enrico Pieranunzi, bassist Enzo Pietropaoli, and drummer Alfred Kramer.

SILENCE features bassist Charlie Haden joined by Chet Baker, drummer Billy Higgins, and pianist Enrico Pieranunzi. It was recorded just six months before Baker's death. His sad lyricism is a stirring presence throughout the half-dozen tunes. Haden's "Silence" is like a mournful prayer with Baker's trumpet at the fore.
