The album, cut in Rome during September of 1969 for the BYG Actuel series, includes distinctive and lyrical performances of 5 fiery Lacy originals and features Lacy's wife Irene Aebi on cello, Italo Toni on trombone, Claudio Volonte on clarinet, Marcello Melis on bass and Jacques Thollot on drums."

Sands
Label:
TZADIK
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.50
Catalog #:
TZ 7124
"Recorded at his home in Paris from February to April 1998,
Sands
is Steve Lacy's most personal and remarkable solo document, and explores a wide variety of musical and dramatic subjects. Portraits of close friends Barney Wilen and William Burroughs; collaborations with the texts of Allen Ginsberg and Samuel Beckett; and of course his own peculiar take on identity and Jewish heritage, which he characterizes in his most recent composition 'Jewgitive'. The music of Lacy, like Judaism itself, is a praxis, a question, a floating anxiety, and
Sands
is one of Lacy's most poignant and intense recordings."

Solo: Live At Unity Temple
Label:
WOBBLY RAIL
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.50
Catalog #:
WOB 003CD
"Last year Steve Lacy crossed the pond to tour the US (he has live in Paris since the late '60s), performing both his trio, and alone, as he is captured in this recording from Chicago's Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Unity Temple." From John Corbett's liner notes: "Ninety-nine years after the building was completed, Lacy entered its chapel to set those columns in motion...to improvise the edifice..the music adjusts, becomes aligned with the space. Lacy calibrates, like a bat...a solo concert for soprano sax and architecture."
