Steve Lacy Quartet - One Fell Swoop

I just had to write a review about this excellent cd

Jazz roots meets avant garde at its best! the band is top notch and the sound (as most Lacy recordings) is great...not lush, over produced stuff like you would find on a Marsalis recording , instead you will hear warm , delightful analog type of sound which to me is the best you can get from a recording. The playing from all is very good and the compositions seem to have one foot on the traditions of jazz while another foot is pointing at a posible future (which could have saved jazz from its iminent death)...a great cd from a true artist.
