Steve Lacy

Born:

Steve Lacy, one of the greatest soprano saxophonists of all time and a New England Conservatory faculty member since fall 2002, died Friday [June 4th, 2004] at New England Baptist Hospital. The jazz master who once defined his profession as “combination orator, singer, dancer, diplomat, poet, dialectician, mathematician, athlete, entertainer, educator, student, comedian, artist, seducer and general all around good fellow” was 69. He leaves his wife and collaborator, the Swiss singer Irene Aebi. Born Steven Norman Lackritz in New York City, Lacy was the first avant garde jazz musician to make a specialty of the soprano saxophone--an instrument that had become almost completely neglected during the Bop era

Jazz & Dance: modi diversi di unire le due arti

Read "Jazz & Dance: modi diversi di unire le due arti" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Sebbene gran parte del jazz nasca dalla musica da ballo e nella sua storia non manchino importanti collaborazioni di musicisti con danzatori --il primo che viene in mente è Steve Lacy --, oggi i rapporti tra questa musica e l'arte della danza non sono frequentissimi. Da un po' di tempo, tuttavia, qualcosa dalle nostre ...

Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani, Bruno Tommaso: Modern Art Trio

Read "Modern Art Trio" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Fin dal 1971, anno di pubblicazione dell'unico disco che ne documenta l'attività, Modern Art Trio ha fatto parlare tanto di sé. E quel lavoro non cessa di parlare a sua volta all'ascoltatore, riattizzando da punti di vista sempre nuovi l'originaria passione. D'altra parte, è lo stesso Franco D'Andrea a sottolineare l'importanza del Modern Art Trio: “Da ...

Steve Argüelles, Francesco Bigoni, Benoit Delbecq, Francesco Diodati: Weave4

Read "Weave4" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


È piuttosto singolare la musica di questo Weave4 (Parco della Musica Records): aperta fino ad apparir sfrangiata, eppure con un andamento narrativo; astratta e d'ispirazione contemporanea, ma al tempo stesso con un suo palese gusto melodico; con un cuore acustico, avvolto però in un alone elettronico; dubbiosa ed esitante nelle direzioni da prendere, ma ciononostante coerente ...

Daunik Lazro, Benjamin Duboc, Mathieu Bec: Standards Combustion

Read "Standards Combustion" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The French trio of saxophonist Daunik Lazro, bassist Benjamin Duboc, and drummer Mathieu Bec has released a collection of music with the fitting title Standards Combustion. Their covers of two compositions each by John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, and one each by Steve Lacy and Wayne Shorter do not so much burn down these nuggets as ...

Jay Clayton: Looking Back (Reflections)

Read "Jay Clayton: Looking Back (Reflections)" reviewed by Katchie Cartwright


Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, Jay Clayton (October 28. 1941--December 31, 2023) summoned the courage to move to New York in 1963, finding her way into the free jazz scene at a time when singers (excluding Jeanne Lee and a few outliers) were simply not within the ranks of the jazz avant-garde. Her free jazz ...

Lilian Terry: Forever Sisters Of The Soul - Renaissance Jazzwomen

Read "Lilian Terry: Forever Sisters Of The Soul - Renaissance Jazzwomen" reviewed by Kerilie McDowall


I was warmly accepted by a giant such as Duke Ellington during his last seven years. He chose to be my friend, demanding my annual presence during his concert tours in Europe as his “good luck charm," and as his sounding board for all the phrases he would dictate to me, to be used later in ...

Steve Arguelles: Here

Read "Here" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


In che modo ci si approccia ad una registrazione di solo batteria, se sei un batterista che non crede negli assoli di batteria? Su questa domanda le note di copertina argomentano in modo brillante, lucido, esaustivo. Il musicista in questione è Steve Arguelles veterano della più vivace scena britannica, membro fondatore dei fondamentali ...
