Because of the difficulty involved in mastering it’s pitch challenges, very few jazzmen concentrated on it. Lacy is widely considered the first “modern” musician to specialize on the instrument. Lacy had long and prolific career and a fascinating style trajectory. At sixteen he began playing Dixieland with the likes of Pee Wee Russell. In the mid 1950’s he played free jazz with Cecil Taylor, and appeared with his groundbreaking quartet at the 1957 New Port Jazz Festival. He made a notable appearance on the 1959 Gil Evens, Great Jazz Standards album. Along the way, Lacy became obsessed with the music of Thelonious Monk, working with him several times including the 1963 Big Band and Quartet in Concert album, and devoted much of this life’s work to the interpretation of Monk’s materiel Artist Steve Lacy Genre Jazz Label Candid Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Louise Introspection Donna Lee Played Twice Air Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Steve Lacy and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Steve Lacy Gemini Rights Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 4th November 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Lacy Gemini Rights £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19658739711 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tony Williams Foreign Intrigue Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 10th January 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Williams Foreign Intrigue £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 838341 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Baker Love for Sale – Live at The Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club Jazz | Justin Time Records | 2LP Released 25th November 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chet Baker Love for Sale – Live at The Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Justin Time Records SKU: 0068944915712 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Frank Sinatra Sinatra Sings Great Songs From Great Britain Jazz | Reprise | 1LP Released 25th October 2022 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Frank Sinatra Sinatra Sings Great Songs From Great Britain £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Reprise SKU: nn252073 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ron Carter featuring Eric Dolphy & Mal Waldron Where?
