Steve Lacy & Joe McPhee - The Rest

[jeffcrom]

From Roaratorio, a one-sided LP containing a performance many of us have been waiting for - The Rest by Steve Lacy and Joe McPhee.

In June of 1977, Steve Lacy and Joe McPhee shared a double bill in Basel, Switzerland. Lacy invited McPhee to join him for a duet to close his set, for which McPhee elected to bring out his own soprano saxophone. The main part of Lacy’s performance was issued on the classic Clinkers LP; after 36 years, here is The Rest. This one-sided, limited LP marks the first and only time that these two master musicians played together, but the simpatico meshing of their distinctly individual voices points towards a shared history on a different plane.
