Lacy, Steve

Reflections

All of soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's early recordings are quite fascinating, for during 1957-1964, aspects of his style at times hinted at Dixieland, swing, Monk, and Cecil Taylor, sometimes at the same time. Here, Lacy teams up with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Buell Neidlinger, and drummer Elvin Jones for seven Thelonious Monk compositions. The typical standbys (such as 'Round Midnight,' 'Straight No Chaser,' and 'Blue Monk") are avoided in favor of more complex works such as "Four In One,' 'Bye-Ya,' and 'Skippy;' the sweet ballad 'Ask Me Now' is a highpoint.
