- Abstract
Saying goodbye to Lee and Josh outside the deli, I gave Lee a spontaneous hug, not knowing if I'd even see him again because I was living in California. It was a June Sunday morning and I had awakened in the guest room of Lee Konitz's Manhattan apartment on West 86th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.The night before we had gone to the Village Vanguard in Greenwich Village after dining at La Mirabelle a few doors down from Lee's place, where a starry-eyed waitress had spontaneously serenaded us with a full chorus of Autumn Leaves in French upon learning we were musicians. Noticing Lee's discomfort, our waiter, who was disarmingly hip and appreciative of who Lee Konitz was, replied in a friendly jest that he would "call security.".
