You and Lee is an album by American jazz saxophonist Lee Konitz which was released on the Verve label in 1959.

Critical reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states "One of the lesser-known Lee Konitz albums, this LP features the altoist joined by six brass and a rhythm section for eight Jimmy Giuffre arrangements. The shouting brass contrasts well with Konitz's cool-toned solos and together they perform eight underplayed standards".
