A Lark Ascending Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 That is sad. A player I've enjoyed very much indeed on record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I knew he was in bad shape recently so not entirely surprised. Sad news..an amazing musician...happy to have seen him twice with Lacy and once at a brilliant solo performance at the western front here in vancouver.

mjazzg Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The one time I saw Steve Lacy the musician that stood out and whose solo I still remember was J J Avenel. His appearance on a recording was a guarantee of quality for me from that night on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I just looked at my list of Steve Lacy shows I attended - I was lucky enough to see J.J. six times over the years. With the possible of exception of Henry Grimes, I think he was my favorite jazz bassist. (All due respect to many other great bassists.) I remember sitting in Snug Harbor in New Orleans, before a Lacy trio show in 1999, enthusiastically telling some Crescent City musicians that they were about to hear the best bass player on the planet.
