中音萨克斯手Lee Konitz(生于1927年)的旋律风格近似Tristano,其器乐演奏技巧也如Tristano一般高超。Lee Konitz的音色有别于其前辈乐手Benny Carter或Johnny Hodges的华丽光鲜,亦不同于其同辈Charlie Parker的悲喜交织,更多让人忆起Lester Young的冲淡、轻盈、颤音悠缓的演奏风格。
有一点不得不提,在那个年轻中音萨克司手几乎人人都在模仿Charlie Parker的音色以至节奏旋律观念的年代,Lee Konitz是为数不多坚持继承和发展Tristano开辟的另一现代爵士风格的乐手之一。Charlie Parker的风格对其影响甚微,Lee Konitz的演奏特色源自于Tristano的钢琴风格。换句话说,Tristano与同时期波普钢琴手们的演奏风格迥然不同。首先,他不以波普的方式“摇摆”,波普风格的摇摆多运用“拖拍”的手法,而Tristano倾向于“抢拍”,赶在节奏之前,并且与Parker和Gillespie相比,较少运用切分节奏;其次,Tristano的节奏没有波普那样变化多样;再次,其即兴旋律的构成以“长串长串不间歇的八分音符”为特色,因此,他音乐中的摇摆感比波普听上去更为“紧”(我们可以对照听一下SCCJ收录的Tristano作品“Crosscurrent”以及SCCJ修订版中收录的其作品“Subconscious Lee”)。
