Ideal Bread - Transmit (Cuneiform)

June 9, 2010

Steve Lacy was a student of Monk for much of his lengthy musical career. Ellington and Herbie Nichols offered other areas for avid study. Lacy was a prolific composer in his own right, but he never lost sight in of the worth in investigating and interpreting the work of his elders. That philosophy of inclusiveness passed directly on to his pupils and fans. Six years since his passing a number of bands are following suit by turning to his songbook ...

Steve Lacy - November (Intakt)

June 9, 2010

As catalysts to a host of conflicting emotions, final recordings commonly carry more baggage than those that come prior. Sometimes the results are heartbreakingly catastrophic, as with the case with Lester Young's last foray in front of microphones in Paris. Other swan songs reflect still triumphal talents cut abruptly short. Steve Lacy's last solo concert falls far closer to the latter summation than the former. A disheartening diagnosis of liver cancer earlier in the year left him increasingly prone to ...

Concert versus studio. That enduring dichotomy of setting is a driving factor in altoist Pete Robbins' fourth release. His third was a studio affair; one that while deemed an overall success by the altoist didn't quite muster the intensity of his live work. This set, pulled from a pair of dates at Brooklyn venues, has intensity to spare thanks in no small part to the colleagues convened for the occasions. The other obvious determinant is Robbins' songbook, an eclectic assemblage ...

Sarah Manning - Dandelion Clock (2010)

By Pico“Finding your own voice" is such an overused phrase these days. That especially holds true in the music business, where such rote advice is handed out like doubloons at a Mardi Gras parade. The young, alto-tenor saxophone specialist Sarah Manning has heard those words herself, but probably since they came directly from sages like Jackie McLean and Yusef Lateef, she actually took the advice to heart. And if there's one thing that stands out the most about ...
