The Whammies: Play the Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3 Live
Lo spirito lacyano (a differenza per esempio degli Ideal Bread, di cui ci siamo occupati di recente) è del resto sempre salvaguardato grazie a un movimento interno costante, irrinunciabile, una timbrica allusiva e spesso obliqua, nitida e ironica, un rispetto totale della bellezza germinale dei temi.
Già il dittico d'avviovivo, palpitante, ottimamente suonatoci dice tutto ciò, e a corroborare tale assunto arrivano poi, a dover selezionare l'essenza più pura dell'album, il trittico che va da "The Kiss," squisitamente concettuale, allo screziato "Sublimation," senza dimenticare, come commiato, l'unico tema non lacyano (e comunque monkiano, per cui...), "Hornin' In," aperto dal solo Han Bennink, illuminato quindi da un pensoso monologare di Mary Oliver di umore elegantemente contemporaneo, per affidarsi poi al liberatorio collettivo finale.
Insomma, lo si sarà capito: un disco da non perdere. Per lacyani e non.
