(Post-Bop, Free Jazz) Steve Lacy - Reflections: Steve Lacy Plays Thelonious Monk - 1959, FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

 

All of soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's early recordings are quite fascinating, for during 1957-1964, aspects of his style at times hinted at Dixieland, swing, Monk, and Cecil Taylor, sometimes at the same time. For this CD reissue (a straight reproduction of the original New Jazz LP), Lacy teams up with pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Buell Neidlinger, and drummer Elvin Jones for seven Thelonious Monk compositions. The typical standbys (such as "'Round Midnight," "Straight No Chaser," and "Blue Monk") are avoided in favor of more complex works such as "Four in One," "Bye-Ya," and "Skippy"; the sweet ballad "Ask Me Now" is a highpoint. Lacy always had an affinity for Monk's music and, even nearly 40 years later, this set is a delight.
Scott Yanow

Все ранние записи сопрано саксофониста Steve Lacy просто удивительны, так как на протяжении 1957-1964 аспекты его стиля временами касались то диксиленда, то свинга, то Thelonious Monk то Cecil Taylor, а иногда и всего перечисленного одновременно. Это переиздание на CD (прямой повтор оригинальной пластинки New Jazz), где Lacy в команде с пианистом Mal Waldron, басистом Buell Neidlinger, и ударником Elvin Jones играет семь композиций Thelonious Monk. Типично играемые всеми номера (такие как "'Round Midnight," "Straight No Chaser" и "Blue Monk") оставлены в стороне, а предпочтение отдается более сложным работам, таким как "Four in One," "Bye-Ya," и "Skippy"; а наивысшей точкой является чудесная баллада "Ask Me Now". Lacy всегда тянуло к музыке Monk'а и даже сейчас, через 40 лет после выхода в свет, эта запись вызывает восхищение.
