****(*) AMG

Recorded on March 26th, 1994 in the Horsalen of Stockholm Kulturhuset, Sweden.

Featuring
Steve Lacy (soprano saxophone).

Lacy starts out with concise versions of five of Monk's numbers.
His interpretations are so self-sufficient that one does not miss the other instruments, although it is quite easy to "hear" the bass and drums behind the soprano.

The remaining five performances are all Lacy originals and although not overtly Monkish, his use of the themes as the basis for his improvising, thoughtful solos and highly original yet logical evolution of his improvisations make the results continually fascinating.
