A laidback sense of creative interplay: that is the high art of this duo. It makes for a music made with a sparkle in the eye. This music is ravishingly beautiful, but it isn't complaisant. It is playful yet profound. It is intimate music filled with deeper meaning and quiet humor. Such is the music of Konitz and Lang.

PRESS QUOTES
"There's such an insinuatingly melodic grace to both Lang's original compositions and the pianist's colloquies with Konitz's alto that the results are full of charm. ..." (Ray Comiskey, The Irish Times)

"... Lang - though fairly unknown outside of Germany - appears to be one of the best choices of accompanist the veteran alto player has made recently. ..." (Jazz.com by Thierry Quénum)
