Steve Lacy: THE CRY
by AAJ Staff
Although THE CRY furthers the fascination soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy has previously established with setting the work of women writers to music, it also breaks significant new ground in it’s bold, uncompromising feminist political slant. In that single respect, THE CRY could well prove to be as controversial as it is compelling. For this recording, Lacy ...

Steve Lacy: Saxophone Special +
