Sorry (I'm full of Christmas spirit), 'Yo ho ho' is Long John Silver. I meant 'Ho ho ho' (and thanks again).

Thanks Nick for yet another unkinown album, and season's greetings to evryone that makes this site simply the best!

A quick correction:
Track 4 (notated as "B1. The Owl") is actually a medley. At the 5:54 mark he begins the song "Torments" (after having already recapped "The Owl"). So the track should be called "B1. The Owl - Torments" (or something like that).
Track 5 (notated as "B2. Torments") is actually the song "Scraps."
For confirmation just check the albums "Scraps - The Steve Lacy Sextet" released on Saravah in 1974. This was rereleased on the box set "Scratching the Seventies/Dreams."
Thanks so much for making this available! It's truly extraordinary playing!

Happy and Healthy and Safe New Year to all! Stewart- you will have a great time adding Steve Lacy to your musical life- have fun!

serviceton said...

Nick - many thanks. Only once did I see Lacy perform solo, it was spellbinding. Echoes I can hear in this recording :-) How many copies pressed of this one? ...

Thanks also JSinton for the tune titles iron-out. I know some don't give a toss for this kind of detail but I think it matters (and probably to Lacy too I think.) - so thanks.

Bonne année à tous

Nick said...

I think it was a few hundred copies, but there was a batch of them that were badly stored and got warped along one edge, so fewer in circulation. The second part of the concert was a duo with Masahiko Togashi and the third a trio with Motoharu Yoshizawa - it would be great to hear those. The other error on the sleeve was that the recording date was actually on 16 June 1975 and I have changed the posting to reflect this.

serviceton said...

Interesting.
Agreed it would be great to hear the duo and trio settings as well. You'd imagine they must have been recorded..

Steffen said...
