The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy

by Steve Lacy

The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy cover art

Recorded for the short-lived but highly influential Candid label, this album captures Steve Lacy dedicating himself entirely to the soprano saxophone. Accompanied by Charles Davis on baritone sax, the contrasting horns navigate complex Monk and Cecil Taylor compositions with sharp, angular post-bop precision.
