The rarest of Lacy s recordings.
Recorded live from a solo concert at the famed Mandara live house in Tokyo s Kichijoji district on June 8, 1975, it depicts Lacy at his finest hour ever.
It was Lacy s first even gig in Tokyo and the material on display here was taken from the second set of that evening.
Enfant terrible, music critic and writer Aquirax Aida, who invited Lacy over to Japan and staged some concerts for him, organized the whole affair.
It was here at this gig that Lacy debuted Snips and Stabs.
His first adventure in Japan was without a doubt the most daring and astonishing of all his trips over there.
He was then tapping into still virginal territory, mapping out the boundaries of his own still developing playing and touching reputedly on magic and greatness that only a very few can even dream off of possibly attaining, but Lacy did it.
Steve Lacy Solo at Mandara is in a way a bit like Van Gogh s stunningly colorful paintings or like a surreal Dali coming to life through sound.
He blows out a gently myriad sound by playing an instrument the soprano saxophone -, which has had few real icons.
But Lacy truly was an icon for the instrument and singlehandedly rescued it from obscurity, giving it a potent voice in the avant-garde.
Simply stuff of legends.
Hideously rare LP, released in an edition of 300 copies according to Mr.
Kojima.
Massive and certainly one of those Holy Records in my Free Jazz top ten.
