The world of jazz is not entirely free of hissy fits and, although accounts differ, it appears that bassist Gary Peacock chose the night of alto saxophonist Lee Konitz's 76th birthday to throw one.

On October 13, 2003, Konitz and his quartet were playing at Iridium on Broadway, one of New York's major jazz clubs, although Elvis Costello has since described it as "a shoddy little New York dive".
