Release Notes:
This live concert is perhaps one of the last
recordings from soprano saxophone legend Steve
Lacy. Lacy and percussionist John Heward first met
in Paris in 1975. Though they remained in regular
contact through the years, they did not actually
play together until this concert in Montreal on 20
June 2003. Two months later Lacy was diagnosed with
cancer, and died in June 2004. Lacy suggested to
Heward that he wanted to end this improvisation
with the motif Recessional for Oliver Johnson, as a
tribute to Lacy's long-time drummer. The motif
appears toward the end of this set-long piece, and
lasts until its conclusion.
This concert was recorded at the "Souno per il
Polpolo" festival at the Sala Rosa in Montreal,
Canada.
