Lines (Pandelis Karayorgis album)


Lines is an album by jazz pianist Pandelis Karayorgis and alto saxophonist Eric Pakula, which was recorded in 1995 and released on Accurate. They are joined by bassists Nate McBride and Jonathan Robinson and drummers John McLellan and Eric Rosenthal in various combinations, playing compositions by Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh and Ted Brown, along with some originals.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states "While Karayorgis refuses to be the least bit sentimental, Pakula has no problem being lyrical one minute and intellectual the next. One thing they share, of course, is a healthy appreciation of Tristano's innovations, but thankfully, they do a great deal of interpreting instead of placing his music under a sheet of glass and treating it like a museum piece."
