Album Notes & Community Reviews
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.
