'...Zmarły w 2004 roku saksofonista był bodaj pierwszym muzykiem, który za swój główny instrument obrał saksofon sopranowy. I bodaj wszyscy którzy po nim za ten instrument chwycili pozostają pod jego wpływem. Nagranie to pochodzi z 1975 roku, z chyba najciekawszego okresu twórczości Lacy'ego. Obok niego pojawiają się tu m.in. Steve Potts i Irene Aebi, a sam mistrz jest jak zwykle niezrównany. I gra tylko własne kompozycje...'

Editor's info:
The first in a series of recordings from Steve Lacy's cassette archive- authorized by Irene Aebi.
"When Steve Lacy passed away in June, 2004, he left behind an archive of more than 300 private recordings - mostly cassette tapes of concerts dating from the 1970s up until his final months. Many feature his longtime quintet and subsequent sextet, as well as trio, duo and solo performances; some revisit old friendships, some present unique collaborations, while others document special projects that never quite found their way to the recording studio. In all of these, the same adventurous spirit prevails, the same calm integrity.
This series, The Leap: Steve Lacy Cassette Archives, aims to make available significant performances in a remarkably fertile career. It will showcase Lacy with his regular associates as well as others, playing music heard elsewhere in different contexts and also music only heard just once. By so doing, may it deepen the listener's sense of a singular body of work." -Jason Weiss, editor, STEVE LACY: CONVERSATIONS
Esteem features Lacy's working quintet one lively night at La Cour des Miracles, a Paris club the group frequented at the time. The musicians were in residence there for most of February, 1975, and again through much of December- featuring Lacy (soprano sax), Steve Potts (alto/soprano saxes), Aebi (cello/violin), Kent Carter (bass), and Kenneth Tyler (percussion). Lovely 10-panel folder, showcasing paintings by Chicagoan Jason Karolak.
