Sextette"" ""While Lacy's later career is well documented, it is rare to find such an outstanding recording from his earlier days. An exceptional release that showcases the development of one of jazz's fInest soprano saxophonists."" - The San Francisco Chronicle ""As a saxophonist, he sends me to the woodshed every time I hear him."" - Joe Lovano --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Finally, they released it.

Lone Hill Jazz did an excellent job in the re-mastering. Sound is awesome (to these ears, anyway).

Steve is definitely the centerpiece of these sets. Just incredible.

Please order a copy of this before it (like so many other Steve Lacy CD's) goes out of print. You won't be disappointed. The smooth, angular and swinging art of Steve Lacy is always appreciated.

Thank you, Lone Hill!
