When you were very young
The world was younger than you
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring you loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the silver and gold
Sit there and count your fingers what can you do
Old girl, you're through
Just sit there and count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl, you might as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy to cheer up little girl blue
Lee Konitz (Leon Konitz, Chicago, 10 novembre 1927 – New York, 15 aprile 2023) è stato un sassofonista e compositore statunitense di musica jazz. Considerato uno dei più influenti musicisti del bebop e della cool jazz, Konitz ha caratterizzato il suo stile con una melodia fluida e un'improvvisazione libera e creativa. Dopo aver studiato al Berklee College of Music, si è trasferito a New York nel 1947, dove ha collaborato con artisti come Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan e Chet Baker. Nel 1949 ha formato il celebre quartetto di jazz con Mulligan, che ha rivoluzionato l'approccio alla musica jazz con un sound innovativo e minimalista. Konitz è stato anche un compositore prolifico, scrivendo brani per orchestra e ensemble jazz. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "The Lee Konitz Quartet" (1952) e "Subconscious-Lee" (1960). Tra le sue canzoni più rappresentative: "Subconscious-Lee", "Lullaby of Birdland", "I'm Old Fashioned".
