who is on that Jimmy Lyons album ? 
I heard him only on the Cecil Taylor albums but I am so impressed of his playing there it is incredible. It is the next evolution after Jackie McLean, I mean I could almost say: Bird, Jackie, Lyons if there would have been more exposure to Lyons. Was he too stuck to Taylor ? I read that the first gig Taylor had without Lyons was when Lyons became sick.

I don´t like very much if an alto sounds a bit to "sweet". That´s why I like that reed sound that had started with Bird, I would even say I like McLean´s tone even more ! and Lyons fit´s into that categorie.
