Steve Lacy Five: Steve Lacy (vocals, soprano saxophone); Irene Aebi (vocals, violin, cello); Steve Potts (alto & soprano saxophones); Kent Carter (acoustic bass); Oliver Johnson (drums). Producers: Pia Uehlinger, Werner X. Uehlinger. Recorded live at Stadttheater, Basel, Switzerland on January 23, 1979. Includes liner notes by John Corbett. THE WAY includes three songs that were not on the original LP release: "Stamps," "Blinks" and "Troubles." This double-CD reissues the nine numbers from a former double LP, adding three previously unreleased tunes from the same Switzerland concert. The Steve Lacy Five (the leader on soprano, Steve Potts on alto and soprano, Irene Aebi on cello, violin and vocals, bassist Kent Carter and drummer Oliver Johnson) is at its best on scalar-based instrumentals such as the near-classic "Blinks." Some tunes utilize the voices of Aebi and Lacy, and these are often quite eccentric and for more selective tastes. But the many strong solos by Lacy and the highly underrated altoist Potts makes this two-fer of interest for followers of advanced jazz. This was always a well-organized and highly original group. ~ Scott Yanow
