Pim Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Speaking of working duo’s: this would definitely be one. There are few musicians capable of listening to other musicians like Steve Lacy. His sound would perfectly fit. And of course as mentioned: the Monk repertoire is nothing new to the man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yes I wasn´t Aware of that mid sized band where Lacy played but didn´t solo. But it might have been a Wonderful experience to hear that specific soprano Sound combined with Monks unique piano Sound. And with Lacy as a Monk expert, a Dream Team, too bad it didn´t happen or if it happened it wasn´t recorded. Anyway, decades ago many Monk fans complained there is too Little recorded evidence of Monk with Trane. Now we have that Wonderful BN Album with that whole concert, Wonderful ! And since we know that Pat Patrick from the Sun Ra Arkestra sometimes played for Monk, I think around 1970, this also might have sounded interesting.

JSngry Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 oh CHEW-y..... Lacy did join Monk's working band for a quick minute, as documented here (and a few other places, in writing, not record). Somebody, maybe Lacy himself, put it like he popped in, got what he needed, and then popped back out. A very honorable tact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
