Ideal Bread: Transmit - Vol. 2 of the Music of Steve Lacy
Sia chiaro: il lavoro è del tutto apprezzabile, ma viene da pensare che dedicare un intero CD a un songbook fin troppo poco visitato (rispetto al suo valore) e allontanarsene poi così marcatamente rappresenti in qualche modo un'occasione almeno in parte mancata.
Si segnalano gli episodi più liberi, tipo "Flakes" e soprattutto "The Breath" (due delle scelte tematiche più felici: sarà un caso?), brano finalmente articolato che salvaguarda l'incedere di impronta monkiana propria di Lacy (e della sua scrittura), quieto e ondivago, con soprassalti e asperità magari olimpici ma palpabili disseminati qua e là. Altrove si respira un vento di post-molte-cose corretto ma un po' generico.
