hi all
here is another in our continuing series of severely neglected steve lacy lp's and free jazz generally.

this record's the perfect companion to
mal waldron with the steve lacy quintet on america which has been reissued unfortunately in a limited edition digipak on verves cynicalLy titled 'free america' series.
this is perhaps even better ,certainly better recorded when one compares the original lps.
TRACK LIST
1)the fire now
2)journey without end
3)i feel a draft
4)bone
5)mar

enjoy..cheers

    Wow!!!! This is powerful. I've been listening to Mal Waldron's recordings on Enja records, I must say that this Mal Waldron collaboration with Steve Lacy to me is by far the most stunning and ranks right up there with the BVHaast records Mal Waldron, Jeanne Lee and Toru Tenda
    "Travelin' in Soul-Time"
    Thank You for making this available.

    I've been a fan of Waldron and Lacy for years, but separately, never together--I can't wait to check this out, thanks!

    Mal Waldron's releases during the early '70's are, without doubt, his greatest. Those with Steve Lacy's groups are the best of them. I've never come across "Journey Without End" before. Many thanks for this posting. And even more thanks for your terrific site!

    A perfect album. True 10-stars!A super-pac needs to be established to push for this to be made "Real".Kent Carter and the way-underated Noel McGhie deserve special mention. Bozo is speechless, just a wonderful album to be savoured for a lifetime!

    a total masterpiece in my opinion and I agree with the description, more focused than the one on America. Jazz at a very very high level.

    hey thanks for this: I might have overlooked it except that by coincidence I'm going through a Waldron-rediscovery phase (e.g. the excellent late recording, "One More Time"). Lacy recorded "Bone" a lot of times, but this version is truly unique and the best of all of them. It's too bad that this concept/arrangement of the tune appeared on such an unknown recording. All the more reason to be glad that you re-upped it!!
