Blinks – Zurich Live 1983

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 600257) Hatology (Switzerland), 1983 — Condition: New Copy

The Steve Lacy Five at the height of their 80s powers – really burning here in an extended live set that's arguably a lot more forceful than some of their studio recordings! Steve heads the group on soprano sax – alongside Steve Potts on alto and soprano, Jean Jacques Avenel on bass, and Oliver Johnson on percussion – plus Irene Aebi on cello, violin, and some of her trademark vocalizations! Avenel and Johnson really help shape the sound of the record in some of the best moments – giving the set a rhythmic push that's really tremendous, and which seems to really set fire to the reeds. Titles include "Blinks", "Prospectus", "Wickets", "Cliches", and "Stamps".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
