Review

Since the 1950s, Steve Lacy's name has instantly conjured images of his sole instrument, "the straight horn." Lacy's decision to focus exclusively on the soprano saxophone could have made him a novelty act in an era when the instrument was scarcely played, but his creative breadth over four decades has solidified his position as a relentless innovator. *The Window* presents a fairly conventional Lacy, playing in a bounding trio with drummer John Betsch and bassist Jean-Jacques Avenel. Where Lacy's music for his longstanding sextet can be angular and sometimes sharply dissonant, his trio here demonstrates a lovely power and, even in their most skewered melodic swerves, a latent sense of harmonic dexterity that the soprano sax shows off well.
