Another Shade of Blue is an album by saxophonist Lee Konitz.
Konitz recorded Alone Together for Blue Note in 1996, with pianist Brad Mehldau and bassist Charlie Haden. Exactly a year later, the same band recorded Another Shade of Blue.
The album was recorded at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, in December 1997.
The JazzTimes reviewer commented that the tracks were too long and taken at a very slow tempo.[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz praised the renditions of "Body and Soul" and "What's New?", but preferred the earlier Alone Together recording.
