Steve Lacy / Mal Waldron

[clifford_thornton]

g_D, the steve lacy sans waldron free america CD makes me want to end all sound forever but the waldron/lacy album is very enjoyable and excellent.

I like The Gap!

[Guest donald petersen]

since i was in high school i have only worn pants from the gap. i have not worn blue jeans since middle school. i like pants. and i will not wear anything with cargo pockets or khaki. so my options are limited. plus the gap pants are of poor quality and wear out quickly. but this is how i do it.

I hear you on the pants situation... had a nice pair of Levis boot-cut jeans that did me well for YEARS, but since then nothin' doin'.

I wonder where Lacy and Waldron got their pants?

We should be more concerned where Lacy got that dope sweater ca. 1974, though...

No, but I got a coupon from Jazz Loft offering 4 bux off for the first 10 people who buy it. I missed out.

Me, too, on both counts.

The idea was resurrected with a very similar line-up in 2000, btw:

Monk Tentet All Stars

New Morning, Paris (FR) - April 4, 2000

Don Sickler - trumpet

Jack Walrath - trumpet

Eddie Bert - trombone

Steve Lacy - soprano sax

Phil Woods - alto sax, clarinet

Johnny Griffin - tenor sax

Ronnie Cuber - baritone sax

Ronnie Matthews - piano

David Williams - bass

Ben Riley - drums

I saw a similar band in a theater outside Paris (Boulogne-Billancourt, to be exact), but with a slightly different personnel. I recall Lacy, Woods, Sickler, Yochko Seffer, not sure of the trombone, and the core was Sphere: Barron, Williams and Riley as the rhythm section and Rouse on tenor sax. The opener was Lacy playing Monk songs solo. A memorable evening.

My favorite of the Waldron/Lacy duos was the Dreher, maybe because I was in attendance on a couple of nights. It was cool living in Paris during the Lacy years.

Isn't it always cool to be living in Paris?

Yes I'm sure broadcast tapes are floating around. Barry Harris was NOT on piano. Mal was. In 1982 Mal and Steve performed as a duo at the same festival. It was broadcast too.

Thanks!

Spun this last night and had to stop what I was doing and just listen. I used to think I wasn't a fan of their duo work, but thankfully I was mistaken. This is a really good session. I still haven't heard Volume 2 of this set.

It’s equally good and there’s much more. They were magic together.
