Considered to be one of the absolute masters of the soprano saxophone alongside John Coltrane and Sydney Bechet, Steve Lacy's career was one of constant reinvention and exploration. The Straight Horn Of Steve Lacy is a masterful album that channels his experiences playing with Thelonious Monk and Cecil Taylor into daring reinterpretations of their compositions. Accompanied by three explosive players likewise formed by Monk and Taylor, this set explodes from the first note. This definitive reissue features restored artwork plus remastering by Bernie Grudman from the original session tapes.
