Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary soprano saxophonist strips his ensemble down to a core trio format, allowing for maximum improvisational freedom. The acoustic, post-bop compositions are highly conversational, highlighting Lacy's famously angular, unpredictable phrasing. The intimate recording beautifully captures the nuanced, intellectual depth of his mature avant-garde work.
