STEVE LACY ‎– SIDEWAYS (ROARATORIO, 2000)

The A side consisted of two versions of "The Way" plus two improvisations, with Richard Teitelbaum on electronics. This is not posted here, because it was included on the Emanem CD 5022, "The Sun".

The B side is a rare recording with Michel Waisvisz on electronics. The others are "Saxophone Special", still available on Emanem CD 4024 and "Lumps" which was included in the ICP box.

STEVE LACY QUINTET "PARIS, OCTOBER 1976"

Here's a Re-up load of something , posted here some years ago by Boromir, its been requested a few times.

Roughly contemporaneous, with the magnificent Dreams, on Savarah of the same year, yet sharing almost exactly the same line up as Scraps from 1974, an important slice of unofficial Lacyanna.

Fourth (or so) re-up (May 2015) - first ny Boromit than from Kinabalu. Or was is it Sotise before him - and now....enjoy...

Steve Lacy with his "classical" and enduring band. An astonishing group with Potts, Aeby and Avenel. In my opinion one of the best groups of the eighties. In 1983 Steve Lacy was still at the top of his form and with this same sextet recorded that masterpiece called Songs.

Enjoy the music!


I had this new graphic design program and enjoyed myself thinking to this fake album cover. The shot was taken by me in the court of a marvellous ancient villa in northern Italy just before a marvellous concert given by Roberto Ottaviano (sop, sax) and Han Bennink (drums). I thought this, as the whole concert by the way, could be a fine homage to Mr. Steve Lacy.
