Here is Lee Konitz, (in a video by Jazz Video Guy, Bret Primack), playing at a gig circa 1973.  April 8th, 1973 at the Highlights in Jazz Tribute to Charlie Parker, presented by Jack Kleinsinger featuring Mr. Konitz on alto, Cecil Payne on baritone sax, Howard McGhee and Jimmy Owens on trumpet, Ted Dunbar on guitar, Richard Davis on bass, and Bernard Purdie on drums, also featuring jazz vocalist, Joe Carroll. 

Be warned, after celebratory riffing on the celebration of "Bird", Charlie Parker, the video does stop kind of abruptly.  But it is something to enjoy nonetheless.  We remember Charlie Parker, and Lee Konitz, always.
