Steve Lacy's Japan Tours: 1975-2004
by Gilles Laheurte
As stated in my first article about Steve Lacy and Japan, there is a great deal of mystery about his deep inner connection with Japan, and I reiterate that it should remain that way.

(Notes for the Steve Lacy-Sound Legacy concert at Merkin Hall, New York City October 06, 2005)“The history of the soprano saxophone begins and ends with Steve Lacy.
