Steve Lacy - The Straight Horn Of Steve Lacy

Review by Kat Dawes

The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy is an album that showcases the incredible talent of the late jazz saxophonist Steve Lacy. Released in 1960, this album features Lacy's unique approach to playing the soprano saxophone, as well as his innovative compositions.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Crust". This piece begins with a haunting melody played by Lacy, before the rest of the band joins in with a driving rhythm. The interplay between Lacy and the other musicians is a highlight of the track, as they push and pull against each other to create a dynamic and engaging performance.

Another standout track is "Trickles". This slower, more contemplative piece showcases Lacy's ability to create beautiful, melodic lines on his instrument. The track builds to a crescendo before fading out, leaving the listener with a feeling of peaceful contemplation.

This early date shows how masterful Lacy was even at the beginning. Throughout his career he took abstract pieces by people like Monk and Cecil Taylor and reformed them in his own way. His alterations keep the tunes unmistakably identifiable, yet transformed and "Lacy-fied." Often, when people play Monk tunes, what emerges is a much tamer and straightened version that only makes the original version's bent brilliance all the more apparent. Lacy bends them in his own superb way, highlighting what great compositions they are and also what a fine player he is. What a great jazz mind he has.
