Sortie by Steve Lacy, released on Polydor in 1966.

ILY wrote on Rate My Music:

Delineated by the 11-minute "Sortie", a scattered and disconnected fresco of bright-colored convulsions, Sortie delivered constant battles of mutual completeness between Steve Lacy on the saxophone and Enrico Rava on the trumpet, predating the manic funk-jazz of Miles Davis in the '70s. "Black Elk" and the 14-minute "Living T Blues" were cut from the same cloth, both depicting eye-catching episodes of feverish imagination and contained shudders.

Jazztodon artist of the week: Steve Lacy!

Remarks by Danilo Perez: “Steve Lacy showed us that being a jazz musician is the work of a lifetime. His compositions and improvisations are full of wisdom and life. He taught us the power of words through his music. Hearing his soprano playing was a life changing experience, because he approached his sound, improvisation and technique as if he believed it was a test of man's sincerity.

Last year while playing a duo concert in New York, he took me to an exhibition of a great Chinese painter. His detailed comments about the paintings offered a great lesson in color subtlety and form. I found myself contemplating his words of wisdom all afternoon. That night after the very inspired concert we played he said; ”Danilo we were painting tonight.“

He was very kind to me and to many people who knew him. As he would say the music and the artist become one as we get older.”

Rather peculiar-sounding album, primarily due to the electronic sounds of Gerd Geier. Unfortunately, I can't find more information about him online.

With pieces by #Stewart_Lee about #DerekBailey in the Guardian and on BBCR4, here's memories of two back-to-back duet performances by Bailey and #SteveLacy in #Glasgow. Unusual music venues: a cinema and a uni bar.
