Steve Lacy: Conversations is a collection of thirtyfour interviews with the innovative saxophonist and jazz composer. Lacy (19342004), a pioneer in making the soprano saxophone a contemporary jazz instrument, was a prolific performer and composer, with hundreds of recordings to his name.This volume brings together interviews that appeared in a variety of magazines between 1959 and 2004. Conducted by writers, critics, musicians, visual artists, a philosopher, and an architect, the interviews indicate the evolution of Lacys extraordinary career and thought. Lacy began playing the soprano saxophone at sixteen, and was soon performing with Dixieland musicians much older than he. By nineteen he was playing with the pianist Cecil Taylor, who ignited his interest in the avantgarde. He eventually became the foremost proponent of Thelonious Monks music. Lacy played with a broad range of musicians, including Monk and Gil Evans, and led his own bands. A voracious reader and the recipient of a MacArthur genius grant, Lacy was particularly known for setting to music literary textssuch as the Tao Te Ching, and the work of poets including Samuel Beckett, Robert Creeley, and Taslima Nasrinas well as for collaborating with painters and dancers in multimedia projects.Lacy lived in Paris from 1970 until 2002, and his music and ideas reflect a decadeslong crosspollination of cultures. Half of the interviews in this collection originally appeared in French sources and were translated specifically for this book. Jason Weiss provides a general introduction, as well as short introductions to each of the interviews and to the selection of Lacys own brief writings that appears at the end of the book. The volume also includes three song scores, a selected discography of Lacys recordings, and many photos from the personal collection of his wife and longtime collaborator, Irene Aebi.Interviews by: Derek Bailey, Franck Bergerot, Yves Bouliane, Etienne Brunet, Philippe Carles, Brian Case, Garth W.
