	Steve Lacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steve Lacy (July 23, 1934 – June 4, 2004), born Steven Norman Lackritz in New York, was an innovative jazz soprano saxophonist.
		Lacy also, beginning in the 1970s, became a specialist in solo saxophone, an innovator who ranks with Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker in the development of this demanding form of improvisation.
		Lacy was interested in all the arts: the visual arts and poetry in particular became important sources for him (he frequently made musical settings of his favourite writers: Robert Creeley, Tom Raworth, Brion Gysin and other Beat writers, haiku, Herman Melville...).

	Steve Lacy- Perfect Sound Forever
		Arguably, Lacy is the most important voice on his instrument in the modern era and undeniably is one of the greatest jazz instrumentalists of any era.
		Lacy began his career as a teen-aged participant in the Dixieland revival of the early 1950s, most notably playing with the 'progressive groups' of Dick Sutton.
		Lacy with long-time collaborators Jean Jacques Avenel on bass and John Betsch on drums are on a lengthy US tour (plus 3 or 4 Canadian stops) in which they will play some 40 to 50 dates in less than 2 months.

		All this was almost fifty years before Steve Lacy, full of honors and awards and commemorations, is almost universally recognized as an artist of the first rank and a master of the soprano saxophone.
		Lacy is one of the legion of American musicians who've sought their fortunes in Europe - Paris in Lacy's case - and by doing so have missed the attention that should have been their due in their home country.
		Lacy had found the body of work that would preoccupy him for the balance of his lifetime, and which he would do a great deal to show to be classically powerful and worthy of close, careful attention.

	Steve Lacy, 1934—2004
		More unusual, though, was Lacy's quantum leap from the older stylings right into the cutting edge of the day, most notably with keyboard mavericks Cecil Taylor and Thelonious Monk; the latter exerted the single greatest influence over the saxman's entire career.
		In times when so much hay is made of fusing things together, Steve Lacy stands out as someone whose interest lay in taking things apart, in dissecting his own works, not to mention Monk's, with painstaking and almost obsessive care.
		Steve Lacy is no more, but his music merits a place all on its own in the jazz canon.

	The History of Jazz Music. Steve Lacy: biography, discography, review, links
		New York's white soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, born Steven Lackritz (1934), was the musician who restored that instrument to its original glory, and then raised it to an almost fetishist status.
		Lacy's postmodernist strategy was still embryonic but already captivating, with a passion for extra-musical noises as well as fragments of singalongs and nursery rhymes to weave intricate tapestries of harmony.
		Lacy returned to the USA in 2002, but died of cancer in 2004, at the age of 69.

	[No title]
		Steve Lacy's productive, multifaceted career, judging by the musicians he has been influenced by and the many he himself has influenced, has been marked by many unique and precious experiences.
		Not only did Lacy learn to tame his instrument's inherent, peevish problems with intonation, but he was among the first (if not the first) of the soprano saxophonists to transform the "straight" sax into a woodwind capable of stratospheric flights.
		Lacy left for Europe in the mid sixties where he took up residence in Paris, and it is where he currently resides.

		Lacy writes, "I was constantly beyond my depth, sometimes lost and always playing only what I could, on my instrument, the soprano sax, itself being an instrument 'on the brink.' It was completely in disuse when I began.
		Lacy and Aebi married, and she has sung texts on a number of his projects, including works by writers such as Lao Tsu and Braque.
		Lacy notes, "The songs are about theatre, life, death, birth, aging, pain, wandering, being a woman." All of these feelings come through clearly in the recording.

	Steve Lacy: Snips - PopMatters Music Review
		Since first recording in the late 1950s, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy has been one of the most prolific musicians on the planet, with well over 100 releases to his name.
		In Lacy's case this type of performance situation is made even more demanding by the fact that he does not really anchor his improvisations in melody or anything close to regular changes.
		While Lacy's approach may strike listeners as being naïve at times, his thoroughness shows him to be very deliberate and very sophisticated, as if he is working out a whole new vocabulary piece by piece.

		In 1985, Steve Lacy went to Berlin to play four different concerts, all of them duets with a different partner.
		Given Lacy's gargantuan stature as the foremost jazz soprano saxophonist in the world, and Parker's as the most important member of the British free jazz and new music scene with the exception of Derek Bailey, this had the potential to be one hell of a show.
		First Lacy, then Parker, went weaving and winding around each other, slipping through an instantaneous modal syntax that gave the other room to move inside and work out from.
