Lee Konitz (Jazz Cafe, 071-284 4358, Tues-Thurs). At the recent Gerry Mulligan 'Rebirth of the Cool' concert, the great altoist was the only member of the band still trying to say something new. Here he's with a quartet, including the pianist Peggy Stern.
John Stevens (Bird's Nest Jazz Gallery, All Saints' Road, W11, 071-229 2094, Fri). Now leading a quartet featuring Byron Wallen (trumpet) and Ed Jones (reeds), the veteran British drummer always sounds fresh. Richard Williams
