Lee Konitz

Franco is one of the finest pianists on the planet Earth. I always look forward to playing with Franco. I can enjoy listening with 100% of my attention.

Plus, every time I hear him he sounds better.

Over the years I have heard some great pianists who really could improvise. Franco is among the very best. I've had the pleasure of creating music with this modest man and I know how inspiring he was for me to relate to.
