The Straight Horn Of Steve Lacy Steve Lacy SKU: LPCND32111 Barcode: 708857321117 26.00 £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Candid Records Released Date: 21st July 2023 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The “straight horn” referred to in the title of this superb album from 1961 is the soprano saxophone, and Lacy is recognized as one of the greatest to ever play the instrument, ranking alongside John Coltrane and Sidney Bechet. 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 Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings Jazz | Concord | 180g, 3LP Released 30th June 2017 £93.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings £93.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7201977 Formats: 180g, 3LP Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela Rejoice (Special Edition) Jazz | World Circuit | 180g, 2LP Released 22nd October 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela Rejoice (Special Edition) £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: World Circuit SKU: 4050538647921 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 22nd October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joel Ross KingMaker Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 2nd August 2019 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joel Ross KingMaker £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7785921 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 2nd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tubby Hayes Quartet The Syndicate: Live At The Hopbine 1968 Vol.1 Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 4th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tubby Hayes Quartet The Syndicate: Live At The Hopbine 1968 Vol.1 £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1532 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elise Legrow Playing Chess Jazz | BMG Records | 1LP Released 16th February 2018 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elise Legrow Playing Chess £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538364897 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Donald Byrd Parisian Thoroughfare Jazz | Sam Records | 1LP, Includes Insert Released 17th December 2021 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Donald Byrd Parisian Thoroughfare £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sam Records SKU: ASAM11 Formats: 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 17th December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Medeski/Scofield/Martin/Wood Juice Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th September 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Medeski/Scofield/Martin/Wood Juice £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1221 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jazz Couriers The Message from Britain Jazz | Jazz Workshop | 180g, 1LP Released 1st September 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazz Couriers The Message from Britain £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazz Workshop SKU: LPJW045 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stanley Turrentine That’s Where It’s At Jazz | 180g, 1LP Released 12th December 2013 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stanley Turrentine That’s Where It’s At £21.00 Genre: Jazz SKU: LP84096 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th December 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Wonderful Sounds Of Quality Record Pressings Jazz | Acoustic Sounds | 180g, 3LP Released 30th December 2022 £125.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Various Artists The Wonderful Sounds Of Quality Record Pressings £125.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Acoustic Sounds SKU: AAPP 147 Formats: 180g, 3LP Released Date: 30th December 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Jazz Start again
