The second volume of Steve Lacy's solo soprano saxophone concerts, starting off with the three short versions of Billy Strayhorn tunes which opened his first solo concert at Avignon in 1972.
"More highlights from solo soprano saxophone concerts, starting off with the three short versions of Billy Strayhorn tunes which opened his first solo concert (Avignon 1972). Excellent versions of "Moms", "Pops" and "The Dumps" were performed two years later at the same venue. A 1975 Paris concert resulted in the only known recording of "Slabs", a second recording of "The Wool", and definitive performances of "Torments" and "The New Duck". From Edmonton in 1976 comes an unusual performance of "Coastline", and a fine one of the rarity "Hooky". In conclusion, there is a definitive 1977 version of "Snips" from Koln."-Emanem
