STEVE LACY THREADS (1977,HORO HZ 05)

hi , heres the next in our hopefuly ongoing series of sadly unavailable lacy recordings

this comes from the 'horo' single lp hz series.

some of which are now commanding exorbitant prices ,when indeed they come up, it seems criminaly negligent that some enterprising lable has not picked up the catalog in its entirety.

great albums by(apart from lacy)sam rivers ,lester bowie, sun ra, mischa mengleberg, lee konitz, roswell rudd, archie shepp,mev,gunter hampel,and many others.

to see the contents of the catalog go to the saturn web jazz discogs, then click on- horo records checklist

this is a great one though it may have limited appeal to the unconverted.

lacy was always a poly stylist allowing himself to be influenced as much by visual art , and poetry, avant guard music in the european art tradition,folk traditions,japanese culture ,as by jazz tradition.

this one features mev stalwarts and long time friends alvin curran and frederic rezewski.
