Figure & Spirit


Figure & Spirit is an album by American jazz saxophonist Lee Konitz, recorded in 1976 and released on the Progressive label.

Critical reception

Scott Yanow on AllMusic said that, "although there are a few minor mistakes, the music is quite exciting and spontaneous... Brown was the best possible substitute for Warne Marsh and sounds in prime form. It's worth acquiring by fans of straight-ahead jazz".
